Head Gasket Job
I have a 1997 1.1 Saxo X and wondering if anyone can give me a price to do it?
I live just north of Bristol in Bradley Stoke
Reckon parts would be 60-80 quid but haven't done one before so a little experience wouldn't go a miss
Alternatively if anyone reckons it is simple enough and have a link to any guides w/photos that would be greatly appreciated.

I can do you a FULL head rebuild for £280, including cambelt, head skim, valve stem seals, camshaft oil seals, headbolts etc.
Waterpump is extra.

Indeed, also i might add there's more than £80 worth of parts, especially when you take into account a headskim which i ALWAYS do with every h/g.
