Hi guys,

Im thinking my head gaskets on the way out as the rad keeps presureising and pissing out the expantion tank, so this is realy to see if any one would recomend a garage that would do the job on a pulsar and be 100% sure of what there doing.


So any ideas guys???

Pulsarboby mate, he's in essex tho.
I will be taking an empty trailer there either next week or the week after, so if you put the extra fuel in for the weight being towed, I would be happy to take it there for you, if he can fit you in.
Then you would have to sort a train out to collect it tho.

He's the main man for pulsars tho! So its worth it ;)

All the times I've heard of this problem its been the head gasket. On a gtir.
I won't be able to take it for you mate, just foundout there's a legal weight limit to tow with cars.
I was going to use my vw golf, but its limited to 1300kg. The trailer weighs that lol

I'm going to use my vw sharan now and the limit on that is around 2300kg
A gtir weighs 1240kg and trailer is 1300kg so total tow weight is 2540kg that's 540kg over weight.
I'm going to be on the limit with my shell on the way back.

Sorry mate.

To behonest im not really up for full doctoring but the odd bits and bobs i may do. Clutches not really wanting to do as their too much grief for the money. Headgaskets arent that bad though.
