Thanks GTO. I guess, like you suggested, i will have to wait and try to get a good deal from the truckers. Btw my car's a Palio 1.2 nv.
The only good local mechanic says he'll have to change the piston rings, head gasket etc. - That seems like a virtual overhaul to me!! But somehow i'm not too confident in getting the piston rings etc. changed here. I dunno how proficient they'd be in taking apart and putting together a Palio, plus won't the engine timing and all have to be re-adjusted after all this work? I don't think they'd be equipped for all that in Sangla.
What do you think?

And how my dear car got into such a dire situation is, :( well another story...
