The one everyone seems to recommend on here is

although if you are in the Northwest then I found a good specialist near me
http://www.tegsport.co.uk/ (web site isn't up to much, but the guy knows his stuff - best to ring)
Hope you get it sorted !

As soon as the head gasket fails, the exhaust gas pressurises the coolant system and blows the coolant out the overflow in short order.
2.5 engine isn't the only way to go, but I am sure we can help you whatever you choose to go with.
