xe head is the same, £100 to fix

If you do the work yourself, the acutal fix costs about £4 - you can do it in situ, but really you need to have done it before otherwise you will need the head off, in that case you will need a new gasket set which will obviously push the price up quite a bit.

There is a link in my sig with info on the problem. Speak to Chris R (afik, link to him on my site in the sig) I think he is still knocking out the fix at £40, but you will have to remove the head and arrange postage and collection.
