Firstly on friday the missus had the car down at a local park when some nob decided to break into the car and stole her perse. Ruined lock and damaged rear window, could be worse.
Today trip to town and the temp starts to get insainly high, heaters on, limp to sainsbury's. She was leaking coolant from the little blank I had put on the rad. Open the rad cap - hisssssssssssssssssssssssss. Still some coolant in so I limped back home (only 2 miles) keeping the temp below 90*.
Open the bonnet and there is mayo on the dipstick and oil filler cap and a re-pressurised coolant system. HG gone
Quick search on ebay and I found this, is this too cheap and should be avoided or is it good. It is "3+1+1 NOTCH" and MLS.

Also how much should I expect to pay to have the head skimmed and pressure tested?
Cheers all.
