Think of the silver lining - good opportunity to change the cam belt, crank seal, water pump gasket etc, etc - Then another gazillion miles without worries:cool:

Quite a stressful life, people expect you to perform under pressure, always being flamed, left out in the cold, soaked in alcohol, well oiled............... :rolleyes: :D

60-100,000 miles for the original one then the rest of the life of the engine for its replacement - they were modified,but they look the same.
My old RR cl 200tdi came in on friday,it had a gasket at 72,000m,it is now on 223,000 and still goes very well.(one oil top up between each change) I have done loads of them over the years,but never twice on the same engine - whatever they changed on the gasket must have worked.;)
 
very true eight, infact i don't think i have ever done a headgasket in the same vehicle twice

Is that cos you blow them up before the gasket goes again? :rolleyes:
