possible head gasket or water pump
there was a company my dad went to yesterday, they said it was £1500 for one head gasket to be done or £3400 for both to be welded and then shimmed. i never known somebody to weld a head before. they were going to charge £42 for one head bolt. pp quoted like £1300 plus £74 for water pump and they said about head studs for £250 more.

looking for insurance
the thing is, i had my licence since 2012 and did the pass plus, i not had a crash, never had points, it just seems stupidly high just for an exhaust, £8,000 for a mk5 golf r32 with an engine swap (just the engine).

possible head gasket or water pump
hi i was driving my hatchback sti the other day, it was fine till i stopped off at Heston services but then it was fine till i started to rejoin the m4. the temperature gauge was going up to the start of the red line. It had water and oil so i let it cool down then it was half way then i started to go on my way. it had hot air out of the heating, less than 4 minutes later it started to creep up again. but this time there is was no hot air from the heating. i stopped to let it cool down. checked it today and it has oil and coolant and now it has hot air from heating.

support petition
hiya I have started a petition to try to get the government to sort out the modified car insurance cost to help lower the cost of insurance for modified car and show cars. Hopefully it works and they can help to lower the cost of cover for basic modification done to cars. If it works then the insurance would be lower for us that modify our cars within the road traffic act. P.S hopefully this wont get deleted. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/562662/sponsors/new?token=6vlwvz62V3XBg3OqI-1h
