What Rich didn't tell you was I had a bit of a tinker with your lude whilst I was there. I've blatantly got too much into the habit of removing things and not putting them back, so you've got a boot full of bits to put back in your own time bud ;-)

Other than those bits though, I'm glad you're sorted ;-)

There was a complete head in the boot for Sean, so already had 1 1/2 engines in the car. A couple bits wont hurt :)

I'm sure the teg's h22 has had more love than anyone could possibly pay for!

Really? 27x bhp from an N/A 2.2 is pretty good going already! What do you think you can get out of her then?

300 plus is achievable with some more work 8-)

And remember this is without the use of a silly gas bottle - ALL motor :D

That's one thing I've really been thinking about recently. The "oops ALL my oils gone" light doesn't seem very helpful really.

I'm hoping to fit one next week providing all the parts arrive in time.
BMCC was really helpful with a few bits of good info. So fingers crossed :D

Glad you have it back on the road A1ex.
Out of interest, what was the wallet damage to save her?
