depends how good you are with tools. its not the easiest job in the world but is do'able, either that or a fair few hours labour at a garage

If you know what you doing its not to bad.
Can get all bits needed for about £40
However, if you dont know what you doing then dont bother unless car is about £100 lol. Cos labour at garage wouldnt be worth it mate

As long as its just the HG and there is no other damage then its easy enough to do if you are mechanically minded and have the correct tools

Depends mate, as when I did my headgasket I changed water pump, thermostat, cambelt n rockercover gasket, you will probs need the head skimmed :s Because you will take cambelt off so might as well change that same with gasket, n waterpump n thermostat all help with cooling soo is deff worth it, all depends on how much the car is :)

Could just do a conversion :p
