    Technically, that is illegal. You need to be licensed or exempted in order to carry out car breaking for business purposes.

    Might be worth ringing that dealer back, he knows you want to keep the wheels, but see if he'll give you any more money for it if you drive it there then take the wheels off once they've put it where they want it?

    This assumes you have tax/mot/insurance to drive it, of course

    As I said earlier, it's not realistically going to be drivable with a blown head gasket!:D

    Towing may be an option, still cheaper than having them come in a truck.
