My head gasket has gone and i have been quoted about 300 quid to repair it. know anyone that can repair head gaskets for less than 300 quid?

Why not have a go at it yourself, all you've got to lose is the cost of the gasket, bolts and a skim.

I agree with Richie might as well give it a go

But if that fails what punto do you have? lol

i dont know how to do it thats why lol
and its a 1996 punto sx

£15 gets you a haynes.

The job is do-able in a day.

If you're local enough, I could lend you a manual. I could also show you how to do it and help you if you get stuck. It's such a simple engine to work on. I'd be surprised if it cost you any more than fifty quid and a day's slow graft to sort it. The last one I did only needed the gasket at about £12, and took me three hours. If it hasn't been cooked, then it may not need skimming, and I've only ever had to replace head bolts on a diesel due to the amount of stress when tightening.

mate i bought a cheap gasket for something like £10 and swapped it out. easy and i dont know anything about cars =]

if you don't skim head (even if its not warped) and use new head bolts on this engine it will just go again.
you need head set inc bolts
coolant,
oil
oil filter
plugs as yours will be contaminated
cam belt kit
