Cadillac Northstar repairs??

[B15TT0]

Does anyone know where I can get someone to replace the HG on a Caddy Northstar (in a 99 Seville). (Preferably in the North East)

Picked the car up cheap as a bargain barge and think it may need the HG doing so trying to find out if anyone can recommend someone familiar with the engines. Obviously don't want to spend much but as everything else on the car seems to work fine I am keen to get the HG fixed.

Yeah, I know it's not an easy job. Fingers crossed it won't need it and will survive with the coolant replaced.

Any idea where I can get a load of Dex Cool so I can flush the current stuff out (a bit sludgy) and replace with new? Seems to be used a lot in the US but is there a UK equivalent?

(and yes, if i can't get it near here i'll be giving you boys at B-M a bell)

I'll be looking for some Dexcool soon, too. Shouldn't be too hard to find as I believe it is used in some Vauxhall's over here (Monaro, VXR8) and I'm sure one of Halford's own brand coolant's is Dexcool compliant.

Great, thanks for letting me know. Will have a chat to the VX dealers I think.
