Default XKR X150 2011 Supercharged gasket failure - need help

Hi guys,

90% headgasket has gone as getting smoke out the exhaust. First symptoms was loss of coolant but nowhere to be found. Should have known better. Anyway I took the car to the "local independent specialist" JAG in wolverhampton and he has only gone and said that he doesn't have the tools to work on the V8 5'0 engine!?

So now I need to ask:

1. Does anyone know who I can take my car to in the West Midlands?
2. Is there anyway I can source the tools to supply to the garage (he says only the dealers will have the tools?)
3. Any advise would be appreciated...

Thanks.

Sad XKR owner Harmz

One of the most renowned Jaguar independents is approximately 50 miles away from you in Nottingham:

Lower risk than having the local independent learn new skills on your car!
