Re: K series head gasket repair
If it has a seal already then no need for hylomar, The gaskets for the B are thin paper ones so I give it a lick of hylomar. Dr B, offer of garage still open for the weekend. Also, I have one of these rechargable LED strip light things if you need extra light. Lasts for about 7 hours and is mega bright.

Re: K series head gasket repair
Thanks again Chris. To be honest, there is little enough room in the rear of the F to even put a light. I have a small pocket LED torch whcih should be enough.
Will let you know if I need garage at weekend.
Anyone done a HG replacement in the rain before

Looks like nice-ish weather over weekend, so I should be able to do everythign on the road outside my house.

Re: K series head gasket repair
Just go park the car at asda at Garth Dee - the lower floor obviously and then do the head gasket repair! I am sure Asda wont mind you taking up 2 spaces on the busiest shopping day of the week!
