Rayleigh is just over 15 miles south of Chelmsford and 6 miles northwest of Southend-on-Sea. The A127 follows the southern border of Rayleigh; the other main road in town is the A129. If you need public transport while waiting for your car to be repaired, there are regular buses and trains from Rayleigh railway station on the Shenfield to Southend Line. Greater Anglia operates most train services, and bus routes are run by Arriva and Stagecoach.
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.
