BLOWN head gasket? Car overheating, loss of coolant? Carrying spare water with you? Radiator bubbling? Water in oil? Steam from exhaust? Loss of power? Misfiring? If your local spare's shop doesn't have it - ask them: why not? GASKET MAGIC works every time - on petrol or diesel. turbos, 4x4's, trucks, forklifts, generators, racing cars and motorbikes. It is safe on aluminium and lasts for years. Will not clog your radiator or thermostat. Since 2012, we have saved many customers thousands of rands each. If it didn't work, we wouldn't have had so many customers phone us to say thank you. We wouldn't have had customers coming back and referring other people to us. We wouldn't have had repair shops buy 100 units at a time to fix customers’ cars. We wouldn't have offered a money back guarantee. Having a mechanic repair your head gasket will cost thousands. You are going to be without your car for days. And if they don't do a proper job, you will have the same problem. Often these repairs are not guaranteed, or guaranteed only for a few months. Even the most reputable agents often find it costs more than they anticipated. You can fix your cars' head gasket problem yourself in 10 minutes. 4x4 and outdoor enthusiasts can't afford to venture off road into the unknown without a bottle of Gasket Magic. If your vehicle overheats and blows a gasket - the cost to get the vehicle back to civilisation is astronomical - never mind the inconvenience or danger being stranded. But if you had Gasket Magic, no problem. How does it work? It's simple. Just pour the solution into the cooling system, idle the car for 10 minutes and drive away. You don't need to be a mechanic to do it. As soon as your engine's thermostat opens up when the coolant is at the correct temperature, Gasket Magic will circulate through the system and find the problem. It is a chemical solution that will form a cohesive, non corrosive bond with the metal where your head gasket is leaking. It can even seal cracked heads or blocks, and welsh plugs. And it can last for years! It is NOT just a suspension with particles that will clog holes! It seems to work like magic, but it works scientifically. One bottle is normally sufficient for eight cylinder moors. - Supplied.
