If you were at home I could have helped but a bit far away :( Have you got AA cover?

Join a recovery organisation (asking for basic cover which is peanuts), wait 48 hours, call chosen recovery companies breakdown line, request lift home.

HG replacement is a days job at best, more so if you need to send the head away to be skimmed. Did it over-heat?

No overheating issues. Just lots of white smoke and water loss. I think the gasket has just gone, so engine and head are (or should be) ok.

Double check what cover you have, sometimes they will only tow you to the nearest garage to fix it.
