Anyone good (and cheap) with Diesels?

My fookin pug 306 head gasket went this morning

 

Got quoted over 600 quid - the round ones

[Burns]

i feel for ya matey, my old 306 had the same problem

[over_head_cam]

It's doing my brain in. I bought it to do the 500 miles a week to work because I was killing the escort and now it's had a flippin heart attack. TBH £600 is probbly all it's worth

[LUKE261]

306 D TURBOS ALWAYS DO HEADGASKETS!! THEYRE A PAIN IN THE BACKSIDE MATE ARENT THEY

[mk1mexico]

And they are never properly right again afterwards.

[RFChris]

Phil.....i think the general opinion would be....ahem....SCRAP IT!

 

....i have a nice claibrqa up for sale. I've put 4500 miles on it in 3 months and its not skipped a beat, and its blindingly good on fuel!

 

Chris

[Gibson]

im sorry too say it mate... but scrap it.... unless its exceptional condition it aint worth that.... mite get more money breaking it and selling the bits on flea-bay

[over_head_cam]

Well all the quotes I've had are more than it's worth anyway so off it goes. Now all I have to do is get myself and my tools to Aldershot from Croydon every day. I think I may end up killing the green machine

[Guest M.Bird DOHC]

Good lad TOM!

 

If you get stuck m8 gimmie a shout, make sure you got a book for the timing marks!

 

Many hands- Make light work

[Morley]

If its a 16v they are a proper mothers minge of a job... If it ever needs a turbo, walk away from it and watch it burn.

You'll need a locking pin set for timing up the ol pug, got one in my tool box if you want to borrow it!?

Flywheel and camshaft...

[Col-ashtonmobile]

[Tom]

A hammer.
