Thank you for the replies KAA and Tony, much appreciated! We will have a look in Australia to see if we can source the parts - I got it wrong, apparently is it a cylinder head which is beyond repair and our mechanic has searched NZ for a replacement without success. Similarly he cannot find a second hand engine either. The car does mean a lot to my dad so I think we may try to bring it back home, put it under cover and see whether we can find a solution. I don't think we could bear to have it broken up. Any ideas for starting search for a replacement cylinder head in Australia? Thanks again! Bill and Angie

Hi everyone Posting this with my dad. His pride and joy is his Cressida which may finally have reached the end of the road as its head gasket is 'beyond repair' and no luck in sourcing replacement part or another engine....we are in NZ and at the moment we are facing dad having to decide it's the end of the road for his beloved Cressida...does anyone else have any other advice or suggestions for saving my dad's car? It's in great condition in all other respects, but I gather BHG are a recurring problem for this model....I would hate wrecking the car to be the only option so trying to tap into community expertise... Thanks for any help/advice you might have and sorry if this is not the right forum, we're desperate!
