Don’t know. Will find out.
At the moment the garage is sourcing a head gasket set and of course the bolts. These will have to probably come separate from the gasket set. Don’t know. Hopefully they are available.
As I said, I got mine from RockAuto.

Re: Tyres

The short sensible answer is yes change them, however I would check them to see if they are showing signs of cracking, you will have to look all over, on the sides and between the treads. The condition will depend on how the car has been stored. As for which ones to buy, like everything in life, con...
