Head gasket replacement on my wife’s new car

How many SLK,s do I need ? Just bought another one yesterday, 230 auto, same deal as the blue one , blown head gasket plus central locking unit fried, I seem to only find the cars in unusual colors, this one is a strange dark reddy brown metallic with the black/yellow interior.

Black confirms head gasket blown, he thinks it’s gone on number 4, said “ you pull the head off while I go and have a lay in the sun”

I pulled the head off today and black kat was correct, back cylinder gone between waterway and combustion chamber, it was obvious that it has had a gasket replacement at some point, probably a cheap gasket, I’ll get a sliver taken off the head and fit a quality gasket, fit another central locking unit, sort out the windows rising too high in the doors, clean up the yellow/black leather, run the polishing mop over the paintwork and... we’ll see 😬
