I'm off to buy a lottery ticket.....

Post by Ferg » Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:25 pm

In a rather astonishing stroke of luck, following a full diagnosis by CMC, it was discovered that the Exige's bottom pulley had cracked and slipped rather than a complete timing belt failure. The amazing bit being that the engine has not consumed itself and I'm off to pick it up tomorrow without having to cancel Christmas and buy each family member individual VHPD parts as a sly way to pay for a rebuild. I believe I may owe Robin something for some parts off his old car. Thanks Robin :D

Happy days...

:drive

Unbelievable (that any parts remain from Robin's car that is)

Brilliant news. But what to do with 16 valves on individually mounted commemorative plaques...

Darn it I was on the look out for a budget VHPD engine on the market soon lol...... did the filthy thought of 'Honda' pass through your mind when you feared the worst?
