I've been told it could either be headgasket, pourous head or something craked in the head, cant remember what, but how much roughly to have any one of these bits done?
cheers

A head gasket kit is only around £40 and then there the coolant, oil and oil filter but it's the labour that costs the money. If its 6 hours labour then its around £240 just for labour.
