Yes, Jackie and Paul have done it: The Suzuki is reassembled with a new head gasket and new cam-belt. It is not just running, but purring like Tom Kitten!
I haven't driven it yet, but Jackie says it feels much lighter and more responsive. I should think it does, as the failed gasket looked so knackered I was surprised the poor old thing managed to run at all. Anyway, it's now not leaking oil, water and compression all over the place, which can only be a good thing....
Just a couple of small issues: the idiot who tinkered about with the rear bumper wired the lights up all wrong. One of the elements in one bulb has also burned out, (no doubt in protest at this oaf's heavy-handedness), so Jackie is off to the car accessory shop tomorrow to get a new one.
Oh, and a new exhaust as well, as the old one is about to fall off.......
Ah well, it's only money......
