VVC head: how much and where from?

The Marketplace Parts For Sale / Wanted

A friend’s S1 111S popped its head gasket on Christmas Eve.
Hangar 111’s service centre is just down the road from him but they’re not open until next Monday so on Tuesday he had it towed to Strattons. They’ve just called to say the head is cracked and are quoting �912 for a new one.

Can anyone recommend a cheaper, reputable source?

TIA

Try posting on MLOC and SELOC. There’s usually someone with engine bits for sale.

Try some Rover forums - there are always plenty of bits on them and the VVC was used extensively in the 200/400 range
