Leatherhead is seven miles south of central London, served by the A24 road between Clapham and Worthing; the A243, which travels north to Surbiton; the A244, connecting to North Feltham; and the A245, which travels west to Horsell Common. The M25 motorway also passes through the town. Regarding public transport, Leatherhead railway station is west of the town centre on the Sutton Line, and several London Buses routes serve the area, with bus stops on North Street and Bridge Street.
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.
