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 .

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

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 .

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 .

you've just nailed it

3 main crowds in cork
2 i dont rate
1 is very good ,but is also very good at charging

but they dont mind the customer supplying parts which is where i try to reduce costs a bit.
