Car has cream in filler cap, cream in dipstick, rock solid hoses, anyone know of a place I could get one done cheap, everywhere i'm phoning are wanting £400+ mrs has £800 and the car is £550 but she doesn't want to spend all the remaining money on a HG.
Any idea's?

Done some more phoning around found one for £275 but mrs doesn't want to pay that anyone knows of anywhere cheap let me know in kent area if poss.
-
you won't get it much cheaper than that, infact thats a bargin. Looking at £120 ish for parts alone.
How many miles are on it?

Well maybe so, maybe wrong but i'd say that 2.2 will drink as much if not more that a v6 will.
I think your mrs is looking forwards not backwards.
and the fact she wants to bumb around in a v6 ;D ;D
-
Not 100% sure on consumption figures, but feel the old V6 is not to bad on fuel but having only driven the 2.2 for a short time i'm really unsure :y
-
Do it yourself Del!

How hard is it? It's not the doing it to be honest it's the fact I have to get it 90 odd miles and the people I thought had a trailer hired it :'(

Means towing 90 odd miles though and don't fancy that :-/

How long would it take for a professional garage to do a head gasket on a 2.2.

possible, is lot more screw in HG job so is round 4-5h at garage
I done in vectra few month ago in 5h 2.0 16v
-
It's a job I can do well, but not a job I Can do quickly....
I would urge you to have a go yourself
I the HG kit and stem seal change on the Ashtray cost me £40 incl bolts, all gaskets, etc
-
I'll do it with you if you like Del. ;) ;)
Just get the materials we need and we will soon have the head off, replace HG and put the thing back together. On a 4-pot it is never a big job. :y :y :y
