Default Rover 75 Head Gasket....again !

Rover 75 1.8 SE Auto (2003)

Yes, it's the age old problem of the head gasket again !
I had the gasket first changed 3½ years ago.
I last had it done 6 months ago at a 'reputable' garage who did the job with the uprated gasket kit but gave me no warranty as the fault is so common - as we all know !
Well, the head gasket's gone again. I've got no oil in the water, but the water is slowly leaking into the oil.
The car is still running nicely with no problems - I recently did a 300 mile trip in it and you wouldn't have known that the head gasket was blown.
I really like the car and want to take my time looking for a different car to replace it but ideally would like to keep it.
My query is this : Can I keep the car going for longer by dropping the contaminated oil out and refilling it afresh every few months ?
Is it worth replacing the head gasket again, (and if so can anyone recommend a more reputable place to have it done ? I'm in S. Wales), or should I just get rid of the car ?
