Hi, i took my car to a certain chain of garage as I had noticed a sound of running water behind the dashboard and oil in the radiator filler tank. I was firstly told I'd need a new head gasket.
Basically, they rung me up later and told me I needed a new engine because the wet lining/liner (can't remember the name properly) was dodgy and he said the repair costs may run up to £1400!!
They said a new engine would be cheaper than replacing the wet lining because the labour charges would be so high. I would like to know whether this is a fair price, whether I should take my car elsewhere (I only bought the car privately 2 weeks ago for 950!) and also, what the purpose of wet lining is.
Any help is much appreciated, my head's spinning!!
