300te

I recently had a 72,000 mile service on my 300te 4matic (F reg). The independent specialist in Bristol said the head gasket is on the way out. He's quoted me just under £400 to include skimming the head and replacing the valve stem seals (if required). The reason for writing is to ask how...
