(Home) Collapsed radiator hose means replacement engine

i purchased a townace super extra petrol auto which was in need of engine after blowing its second head gasket in two months.i found a small back street garage in glasgow who supplied and fitted a replacement engine for £795 inc vat. they also found the cause of its original problem which was the bottom rad hose which is a braided hose but had lost its composure and when engine on high revs was collapsing thus causing problem! these guys were excellent and if anyone needs to know where they are please let me know. i am in process of fitting dvd/tv and screens etc and hope to get much use from this lovely machine but does scare me reading all problems everyone has had.fingers crossed.its only cost me £1500 up to now buying repairing and extras so not over expensive considering its t&t for the next year too. get in touch if you need details on garage as they are familiar with all aspects of townace etc. happy cruising everyone
