Help please. We are stuck at the Nurburgring with possible head gasket problem.

Anyone in the vicinity that has some good advice or maybe some spare seating space that would be willing to get 2 or 3 people back to the UK for petrol money.

Thanks in advance any help gratefully received.

Thanks for the help, sim16v and jonah35. Alex @ Lizard is going ship the car back. Just got to get the three of us back now.

Thanks for the suggestions, in the end we got a taxi from Meuspath to Calais->Ferry to Dover and taxi back to Birmingham. For the three of us this was the quickest way and only slightly more expensive than taxis and flying (with stupid stop-overs in Denmark or similar!)

Alex @ Lizard Logistics is sorting the car back to Blighty.

Great help from the young lady at the Rennhotel who happened to be a neighbour of Martin at Burgstube. Thanks again sim16v for that suggestion. Martin was very helpful with the options for getting back, especially when we were very tired and exhausted (I owe you a few beers Martin!)

Now I've just got to get the car fixed for next year!

Big thanks to Alex @ Lizard Logistics. My car arrived back safely in the UK and delivered to Doritech for diagnostics.

Looks like the engine has water damage, rebuild or replace. Time for some upgrades I think!
