Can anyone recommend a garage in manchester area which will be able to repair a 2003 e60 530d cylinder head. Stealership said 12k for new engine, Cars only worth £9k.
50,000 1 owner and one of the valves are damaged.
regards.

Even if they gave 50% it would still probably cost the OP more than getting it done elsewhere.
