Is it true that Head Gasket of RR HSE can only be replacd?

[smirf]

I bought this RR 2005 which was filthy cheap and was told that the head gasket needs a change so i went to the mechanic and he said that it needs to be replaced and cant be repaired as RR is a very complex car. What i am confused is that there is nothing that cant be repaired so is he trying to make a fool of me or is he correct.

Mechanic is quiet right, head gasket is kind of semi consumable item. It stay there forever and keep the seal intact between oil and water. The day car overheat to great extent this gasket expands and loose its place and allow oil and water to mix.

Cure to this issue is to change head gasket and yes its a big job, but not impossible job as RR isnt very complex machine to work. Its the mechanic who makes it look complex to get big bucks from RR owners. After all its been favorite car of rich uae local, so it has to earn a bad name being expensive car to get maintain.

I have Pajero and RR, and IMHO RR is much much simple machine to work on mechanical side.
