Ok a good garage is hard to find though lol . I thought it was because of the loose dipstick but seems to be alot of gunk just for that .

Get some more quotes, £600 sounds top heavy to me.............i'd have thought £500 max would be about right.

thats pricey, try using engine flush and changing oil, if you havnt changed oil for long time the oil can look like that from condensation, if you not losing coolant change your oil.
head gasket £250.00
with cam belt extra £150.00

my GT had this problem last winter solved the problem, with a 600 mile round trip and a full oil change and flush, to get rid of any emulsified oil. and since then no problems

Would a compresion test with one of those gauges that screw into the spark plug holes be able to diagnose if the headgaskets gone? . . . If so has anyone done a compresion test before?
