Right head gasget has gone on the valver
quoted about £700 does that sound about right or does anybody know some where cheaper

Also is it worth me having clutch and cambelt changed at the same time

it is on 110000 last cam belt 80ish

Also think starter motor has gone and power steering is whinning like a bitch dont know if it is pump belt or rack again is it worth doing it all at the same time and what would you expect to pay for all of it ???

THink i am going tohave to break it and try and get misses to but another one really stuck haent got any money and i really dont want to cycle to work every pissing day!!!!

power steering pumps are always ****ing noisey on these bastards when on full lock.... does it only whine on full lock or when u put pressure on the steering wheel but dont move it?

to be honest i wouldnt worry about the p/steering pump.

you could buy a new valver for around 1k, dunno if it would be any good tho, some bargains to be had im sure.
