    Grrrrr. Maybe I should just look at that £200 as lost money and be done with it.

    At the end of the day my main concern is getting it fixed. Think thats enought to be dealing with.

    Oh I'm soooo stressed. Money - I hate you! lol

    Thanks everyone.
    Well to be posative about it, you have only realy lost the cost of oil and coolant and once the HG is fixed you will have a car that has also had a service :cool:
    It's not just about the money

    £600 for a headgasket sounds expensive.
    Head gaskit kits are about £75, so the bulk of that cost is labour.
    Use a renowned local garage and the hourly charge will be approx £25, not the £75 that dealers charge.
