Help needed in Essex...

[TVRtricky]

Going up to Nottingham the other day, on a nice A1 cruising speed when all of a sudden the engine over heated and water was forced out of the header tank, called the AA out and they said it looks like a Head Gasket “problem”.
Contrary to all the urban myths, this is the first problem I have had with my Chimaera, in over 8 months of regular driving, so as yet haven’t needed any engine repairs (only servicing at Leven).
Can anyone suggest a good place to go to get this looked at, as close to Chelmsford as possible?

Ummmmm, Leven?

Thanks Flintstone, unfortunately I have spoken to Leven, and they don’t do engine work, so really need somewhere that will replace the head gasket if needed.

Try Matt at Sebring in Wisbech. Other than that I don't know anyone closer who I'd recommend.

Seconded - though I believe he's on holiday the first part of Jan.

Kerridges of Needham Market are a main dealer, but about 55 miles from you. They have a good reputation, but can be pricey.

What about Castle Sports Cars? Only about 20 miles from Chelmsford.
