$12K for a car with a fcked engine aint gunna happen.
How much have you got to spend on getting the engine fixed? How much have you got? Right. Now.
That's going to determine what path you take

I'm doing a head gasket job and a clutch on my Liberty RX. I might film it MCM style and post it up as a DIY guide

Good idea mate I tackle simple diy mechanical stuff do my own servicing but headgasket on a suby or even taking out a engine seemed beyond my ability but the price of labour these days it's so expensive.

Yeh, must have been their fault. Obviously didn't update the firmware in their crystal ball.

Nice first post dipshit.

Not my first post..

'' Radiator replaced 4 weeks ago '' Couldn't possibly be a coincidence that the head gasket went a few weeks later?

Nobody else has had issues with Blue star? Well they've cost myself and my family a lot of money in the past due to (In my Opinion) their complacency/laziness.
