BLOODY HELL!!! I only needed the fricken thing for a few more weeks, but the head gasket in my van has blown. I just got a HUGE quote to fix it- more than the bloody things worth. The timing couldn't be worse- we're selling our house and buying a new one- money and time are tight and the van would have been real handy right now...
Does anyone in Christchurch know of a cheap mechanic who can fix it up? Otherwise she's off to the wreckers.

What kind of van is it ? A head gasket is not a big job on most vans, it may be within your ability to do it yourself with a bit of help from a KBer

How badly is it blown? Maybe try some of that radiator stop leak stuff? Nothing to loose.Originally Posted by TonyB

The coolant is frothing in the radiator and its misfiring. I reckon that puts it beyond the point of a cheap fix.

Just keep topping it up with water, she'll be right.

get your hands on a head gasket and a torque wrench ... no more than 2 hours to replace a head gasket for someone that has never done one before ...
