Is anyone out there in Omegaland that can do me a HUGE favour...to be more specific, someone with a Trade Card.

In two weeks time, I am going to change my heater matrix and head gasket. I have already got the heater matrix, but nothing else.

Is there someone prepared to use their TC to purchase all of the required parts to do a single bank head gasket change? I can send money via Paypal (plus any additional costs).

I work in Swindon, but live in Staffs, so I travel up the M5 on a Friday...or I could go the slightly longer way and go up the M40. Well, anyone that isn't a million miles away really.

If there is anyone along those routes that would be prepared to do this for me, I would be eternally grateful.

Paul.

Well, the simple answer is that other than cam cover gaskets (unless recently changed) and basic seals (dowty washers for coolant bridge) etc....you woudln't buy the bolts and headgasket from Vx!

Ok

Contact this seller and buy just the head gaskets and front pipe to manifold gaskets (plus stem seals if you are re-building the heads).

Mark...you're my hero.
