It's been well looked after by him so should do you proud. 16VT and X1/9 1500 We must all do our part for the planet. I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.

It's tough - and i am sad for you pal, Just hope a lump is sourced quickly for you, P.S - I am interested to know the points of you believing how the car failed? What was it that you saw / noticed?

I agree and I have been civil about it, I can really cause issues if I want but those days are gone, shit happens. Car is silent on tick over but knocks 3k and over, oil pressure went down to zero at a set of lights, so putting those both together = bearings. I could be wrong so will put up a vid in a minute.
