If you are going to do the HG then the company doing the skimming etc will also provide the HG . M-B still have M103 3.0 parts . Jeremy |

Hi Jeremy, head gaskets supplied by some of the head shops can be poorish quality and sometimes pricey, i should try mercedes (usually last port of call due to scary prices) normally i try and fish them out on ebay.de where i can get o.e supplier items but proving a challenge with language barrier. with 2 engines to do , working on keeping cost down but o.e quality . who is the most competitive merc parts dealer in uk? regs dan Edited by blankcanvas, Tue Jun 1, 2010 12:00 pm.

I know a place in Harringey that did my 3.6 for £115 . £35 of that was for a steel HG . Tis should be the usual price . Jeremy |

I got a corking good price ! TBH it is fairly normal , one of the advantages of living in the big city , is that there is a lot of competition . Jeremy |
