How much does it cost to fix a blown head gasket UK?

Head gasket replacement in the UK typically costs £900–£2,500 depending on engine. On older cars worth less than £2,500, it's usually not worth fixing. K-series Rover engines, BMW N47 diesels and PSA 1.6 HDi engines are notorious for head gasket failure and often uneconomic to repair.

Head gasket failure is the diagnosis nobody wants. Here's how to decide whether to fix or scrap.
