The main road through Peterlee is the A19, which travels north towards Newcastle and 17 miles south to Stockton-on-Tees. The nearest motorway is the A1(M), about thirty minutes away. The town has a couple of electric car charging stations, one on Easington Way and the other on Yoden Way (also the location of the bus station). Arriva and Go North East operate several bus routes in Peterlee, making it easy to travel while your car is out of action.
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.
