mgf head gasket failure!

Post by F0xy » Wed Dec 18, 2013 8:16 pm

Hi guys i seem to have head gasket faillure on the 2000 model mgf 1.6 that i have owned for 2 months.. Has anyone got any suggestions of whom to call and fix my problem? Not looking for the cheapest but don't want to pay stupid money either just want the job done properly. Have had a quote for £700.00 to fix is this a fair quote as i have no idea? any recommendations are more than welcome, thank you. I live in Gloucester.
