A head gasket is a part of the engine's cylinder head that seals its critical components from air, coolant and oil to ensure optimal performance.
Head gaskets are made out of a variety of materials, including metal, rubber & resin and are designed to give a tight seal to protect against leakage and premature wear.
When replacing your car's head gasket, it is important to select one that fits the specific make and model of your vehicle for the best possible results.
Here you can find head gaskets for a variety of cars, designed to fit precisely in order to give your car a long and successful life.

Q1: What is a head gasket?
A1: A head gasket is a thin piece of metal that fits between the engine block and the cylinder head in an internal combustion engine. It forms a seal between the two components and prevents oil, coolant and combustion gases from entering the wrong areas in the engine.
Q2: What are the signs of a failing head gasket?
A2: Signs of a failing head gasket may include white smoke from the exhaust, bubbling in the radiator or coolant overflow tank, and/or an abnormal temperature gauge reading.
Q3: What can cause a head gasket to fail?
A3: Head gaskets can fail due to excessive heat or pressure, a poor installation, or a defect in the head gasket itself. Other common causes are engine overheating, a leaking water pump, an internal coolant leak, or a cracked engine block.

Ring RTC Tyre inflator
Bought the tyre inflator because of the unreliable service station tyre inflators.
The buying process online through APD was straightforward. Ordered the tyre inflator late afternoon and received it 2 days later via the Royal mail.
I have a car, campervan and motorbike. I like the wind in cable feature keeps everything neat and tidy. The inflator is easy to use on all three vehicles. Appreciated the chocolate.
Very quick despatch and delivery time
Good updates. Items exactly as described. All fitted and car back on the road.
Personally I found them to be very...
helpful response to emails relating to my purchase was within the hour and they offered the best price on the parts I needed had to wait a couple of days longer than usual due to the parts that I needed was out of stock (but I was made aware of this before ordering) would happily use them again.
Very helpful company.
I ordered a cabin filter on their website which was out of stock. They contacted me by email & offered a replacement which wasn't really what I wanted so they immediately sent a refund. I found another that was suitable, they happily ordered it for me and called me when it arrived in my local store to collect.
Helpful people giving great service
The Wiper blades I ordered were competitively priced and promptly delivered. Unfortunately there was an issue with the fitment and this is where APD showed their commitment to great customer service. They were most helpful in resolving the problem to my complete satisfaction.
