Hi I have used Cylinderhead services at

Furnace Lane,
Nether Heyford,
Northants
NN7 3LB

Tel 01327340900

I used this company several years ago for my sons Punto cylinder head which needed repairs to the waterways and skimming,it wasn't to bad cost wise and the service and workmanship was good, as I said it was several years ago but maybe give them a call.
