Td5 replacement cylinder head

My td5 is giving me grief, on reading the Haynes manual it says the head cannot be skimmed, was thinking of getting rid when I contacted Ian from autotech_cylinder_heads, not only did he confirm that they can be skimmed, he offers an exchange head ,all prepared with a built up area around the known cracking area (diesel in oil) that is then CNC machined. All comes with a 12 month guarantee on the head, hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
