Post by: Andy B on 11 July 2009, 13:18:26
Anyone had any dealings with these kits? clicky (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BGA-HEAD-GASKET-ASTRA-CORSA-COMBO-NOVA-1-4-C14-NV-NZ-SE_W0QQitemZ270414090023QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3ef5ef8f27&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A4%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1683%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A200)
Or feel free to suggest another CHEAP/INEXPENSIVE head set.  ;D  ;D

Andy - looks like that HG will be fine and do exactly what it says on the tin

May be better off buying individual gaskets from VX though, if it's a good car?

Just make sure the exhaust manifold gasket is Multi layer steel, otherwise, should be fine  :y

Thanks James. The car is now anything but a good one, it wasn't bad untill No 1 son got hold of it, it only had 74 000 miles on it, but he then ragged the proverbial off it.
Not worth doing more than the minimum to it now, hence looking for a cheap gasket set to make it a runner again for the least financial outlay and then probably get shut of it.  :y

have used BGA gaskets a few times never had a problem
in the head gasket sets you get more gaskets than you know what to do with every option is catered for
