Our 'Value Choice' Head Gasket range is now available - From £17.99 inc P+P.
Comments from other members have indicated that while some people prefer OEM items, some would like a value-for-money alternative closer to eBay / Amazon prices for Head Gasket kits.
The parts are still top-notch quality, however from more 'budget' manufacturers. And I've listened - I've now created a range of Head Gasket kits to suit the MG Rover owner on a budget from just £17.99 inc P+P. Elastomer: http://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/h...omer-lvb000320 MLS: http://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/h...gasket-kit-mls I'm hoping these products will keep our cars on the road for a bit longer - even on an older model worth a few hundred pounds a repair is now an option.

I've supplied them to a friend who performs work on his own cars - he's fitted 2 MLS gaskets (one to his Mother's 25, another to his own 75) and an Elastomer gasket to his ZR160 track car (low liners due to an epic boil-over).
All have been fine for some time - and I expect them to be so in the future. I of course back these products up with my usual guarantee of quality.

I expect most repeat failure of the head gasket is poor fitting or another cause like a failed fan anyway.
Still, all the same, that is a great price |

Indeed - most are down to another factor rather than the gasket itself failing.
Thanks for the support! Hopefully they'll go down a treat.

Good idea..
But.. I don't think any owner would really consider a budget part once the failure has been established. To rebuild with anything but a quality proven item is, in my opinion false economy. |

No worries, and in the nicest way possible, I really don't want one

I'm still sticking with my Victor Reinz and Payen ranges - I'm a fan of spending a little extra for a known brand, but facing stiff competition from budget-conscious buyers using eBay and such for gasket sets I've had to create a low-priced alternative. As I mention I'm still 100% confident in the quality of the items, and stand by them entirely.

Once upon a time...
Quote:
The reason it had to come off was the idiot that was doing the timing belt had not changed it at the same time as the head gasket. He couldn't undo the bottom pulley bolt, so what did he do? the belt was off at the top and he put a spanner on the pulley bolt....Then he spun the starter and smashed all the valves...He's well known in Wigan and used to have a contract to repair the Police Cars in the 80's..It got worse as he decided to try to weld the broken rockers to save money, and also filled the damaged valve seats with weld to avoid the cost of a new head....The tales I could tell about this `mechanic` |
