Is there a permanent fix for the head gasket blowing on the k series(machining the engine ,head in anyway??), or Is It a fault that will keep on rearing it's ugly head??
Thanks.

plus be respectful and warm up it up for 10 mins before you use the loud pedal in anger

If you are having a repeated problem then the head is probably ed and you need a new one

and of course the other predictable options:

Just get the AA warrenty for £65 and it will cover most of the cost if you don't completely mess up the engine before you spot it.

The AA warrenty only covers you if youve broken down and they come to recover you doesnt it. Therefore, if you break down and have to be recovered due to HGF, youve probably f*cked the head anyway which will end up costing a lot lot more than the £500 the AA will give you!

The signs of a hgf are a breakdown if you're out on the road as technically your head gasket has failed. The AA will recovered you to prevent damage. Theres examples of AA payouts without question for HGF without full head replacement.

Of course its up to you if you want the £475 the AA would pay towards it anyway as you don't have to spend the £65 if you don't want!
