Top end gasket set is cheaper. Not sure how far you are going to go on the engine. Gasket sets from Poland are a lot cheaper. Depends on what make you think is good. I have fitted cheap head gaskets before which have blown after 3 months. OEM head gaskets are one of the best but, then you have to buy the rest.

I'm hoping that I will not need to work on the bottom end...
I'm a bit flustered as every little thing I do seems to have make more trouble, I'm simply trying to work out how to save few quid and since I need few other bits it makes more sense to get it form DS and save 5 or 10 pounds on postage.
I can't work out if set form DS has same items as the one you kindly sent me link to.
