Ok, after essentially replacing the entire cooling system, due to inept previous owner's failure to put the correct antifreeze in, I now need to replace the head gasket, which failed as a result of overheating. However, as allways there is a catch - i'm told that cinquecento's are quite finicky, and the head will need a skim before i rebuid the engine.
My problem, therefore, is thus:
I know of nowhere local that could undertake a head skim!
Any ideas?
FYI, i'm in Denton, Tameside (East Manchester, and 5mins drive from shipman's surgery)
Vehicle in question is a '94 cinquecento with just 31K on the clock...in which the last keeper decided to mix the blue & pink antifreeze types, resulting in a nice rust coloured orange slime throughout the cooling system.
Thanks,
Dan.
