thanks. Jack
Unfortunatly the head failure is probably more the likely fault than a head gasket. You also indicate that a test indicates exhaust gas in the coolant so a thermostat is not likely to make the car serviceable.

I hope I am wrong though. There are exceptions to what is expected goes without saying.
