willman   10 #13 Posted April 17, 2012 That may be Russell, who is well known and very busy. I think a couple of other mobiles have set up and are getting good review on the Rover site. I have a local mechanic who also works on mine but he prefers not to do the tf HG if he can avoid it, so i used Dave. I'm having the local guy do the freelander and its £180 including a skim on the head,the hg hasn't gone so its just precautionary so thought i'd drive in to him.

Slynsammie   10 #15 Posted April 17, 2012 Where is the above from? A bit of Googling finds..  http://www.gumtree.com/p/business-services/coventry-rover-75-200-25-400-45-18-k-series-head-gasket-service-300/97774572  Isn't Coventry a bit far?  Yes thats where we found it.  It is a bit far but i have been quoted £150 on top of the £300 for him to collect the car. Was just seeing if there was anywhere local who could do it for a similar price without the £150 recovery cost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
