Default Help!

My beloved 75 2.0 v6 connasuir overheated on the motorway and unfortunately I drove a further 8 miles in order to get off. Consequently the rac say that I have a head gasket problem. So does anyone know of a specialist who can help. I am in Bristol but obviously some garages will collect nationwide. Car has only 42000 miles so really want to save it.thanks for looking. Dave.

Not sure who is in the west country - but i would consider Austin Garages in Burton on Trent - there are mobile mechanics who do HG repair but Austin Garages have a good reputation. Others will no doubt give you other options.
