head gasket

[rangietragic]

Going to have to bite the bullit and get the head gasket done.Been playing up for ages,not getting hot but pressurising the system and occasionally spiking the guage and blowing a bit of coolant out.Every time you turn engine off can hear bubbles going into header tank.Son was driving it last year and heater matrix spat the dummy and dropped the coolant out. I think that may have started it.Oh well,what's a couple of grand!

Have a crack at it! If a gumby like me can do it you should be fine:)
Plenty of how too threads on here are that absolute gold, I had never touched a Diesel engine before and had only really tinkered with motorbikes growing up.
