Hi folks, Oh that doesn`t sound very promising as it has HGF three times before I had it and I had it done three times in the 20k miles over the nine years I have had it.The garage who done the work the most recent (2020) used the parts for the job that I got from dmgrs which included the Payen gasket, and had a new rad fitted,It still overheated so the garage said if they used the MLS gasket and it cured it I wouldn`t have anything to pay.It didn`t cure the issue, and as have written on here before members of the club said use speed flush which I did several times and I also fitted a new PRT and it has taken us these 3-4k miles without any problems. I have run it on the digital temp gauge on every journey since (2020) so we know what was going on heat wise, and the garage in question did say the head couldn`t be skimmed again as it is at it`s limit.So I wonder if that`s it for the old girl ,I am not usually superstitious but I did buy it on the 13th of January in 2013, cheers Paul
