None of the aforementioned. None of them work. The combustion pressures are way too high for anything like that to have a hope of working. |

Might as well just pour a bag of sugar into the cooling system with that mate instead of k seal etc |

Depends on who you plan on selling it too. If you go down the wbac route then you'll prob be OK but other dealers may be able too chase you for a faulty sales of goods route |

Ok, I won't bother with any liquids - I'll try selling privately with a head gasket problem and if not, I'll be sending it to auction and cutting my losses. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8 |

Probably the best option. However, before you do, has it been confirmed as a head gasket? Might be worth shelling out £100 or so for a decent garage to perform a cylinder leakage test just to be sure. Please note there is a big difference between a compression test and a leakage test. A compression test is fine for a burnt valve or suchlike, but a leakage test is far better at detecting a head gasket leak, especially if it is only minor.

That seems sensible Sam, otherwise Gary you could be throwing away a lot of money.

Whack 2 bottles of steel seal in it, see if it improves, trade it in... |
