    I've had a small oil leak on the beemer for a few weeks now and had put
    it down to a gasket that needed replacing.

    Today I discovered that it wasn't a gasket but a crack in the cylinder
    head near an exhaust stud that was helicoiled as part of the recent
    rebuild.

    I wonder if I have grounds to go back and get it sorted for free.

    TBH I don't know either way. I'm not very up on my consumer law.

    If there is still plenty of meat (5mm+) around the insert then I would be
    asking. Cack handed repair if there is.
    Don't despair though, it could be repairable anyway.

    The Ins. Co. wrote it off. It was rebuilt by a local mechanic using the
    payout.
