Cramlington is nine miles north of Newcastle, between the A1, A189 and A19 roads. It has several electric vehicle charging stations (including on Nelson Way and Blagdon Lane) and car parks. After you've dropped your car off at the garage, the best way to travel in Cramlington is by bus or train. Arriva operates regular bus routes to Newcastle and Ashington, and Cramlington railway station is on Station Road. Trains run on the East Coast Main Line.
The head gasket is crucial because it prevents oil and coolant from mixing and seals the internal combustion process. It is under the most pressure of any engine gasket, and it can be expensive when it fails, so it's best to shop around.
Head gasket symptoms to look out for include white or milky oil caused by leaking coolant, white exhaust smoke, loss of power and water or a sweet smell from the exhaust. Blown head gaskets are usually caused by overheating, so keeping your coolant topped up is important. You shouldn't try to drive with a blown head gasket.
A head gasket repair is usually only a temporary fix, especially when you use sealant, and if the damage is too extensive, you may need to book a full head gasket replacement. A cylinder head repair is sometimes required if the head gasket has blown.
A head gasket specialist can advise you on the exact repair your car needs and how much it will cost. Read our complete head gasket replacement guide for more information.
