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

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  :'(

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

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
