    Head Gasket fit easy or not ??

    Td5 engine change

    It’s down to the right, I want to make sure everything stays running well and maintained, what oils need topping up and changing ? Is it an upgrade? He didn’t tell me why it was done, it was done before he had it. He fitted the disco transfer box. I have been an old Vw guy for awhile so this...
