Hi, I have had the head gasket replaced on my 03 plate Freelander. I took it back as it had problems and then had an injector replaced, at my expense. Since then I have been getting headaches and feeling dizzy - I took it back once and was informed that that coolant was leaking onto the exhaust, this was replaced (again at my expense), however I can still smell something strange and it is still making me light headed. I am now scared to drive my car - please help.

it might be carbon monoxide, take it back and see if the exasust is sealed up, that shold be done for free as it needed to be disconnected to pull the head off.
