Hey all,
Wanna say thanks to tim, weka, dirk, pmj and polarbearit for the help - wasn't expecting a reply so quickly!
unfortunately due to some (shitty) bad luck at work, I'm not gonna be able to take anyone up on their offers, in fact I dunno if I even have the budget to get my cylinder head sorted and get the car ready.
thanks to all for the offers, if somehow I DO work something out, I'll get back in touch asap!
Cheers,
Andy
