yes , did you take the top baffle out of the cam cover when you got it back and cleaned all the sand out of it, if not, thats whats killed your engine, i had one of mine sandblasted, spent 2 hours cleaning it and it was mine, 2 days later i looked at it and there was sand in the metal and when you rubed it it all fell out ,

Well living with the XE isn't all as cracked up to be as it seems !!
Well the cars playing up abit just teething problems again ! The right hand hose to the heater matrix has split so off to the scarp yard tommorow to get a pipe matched up and repair that.
Also got a number of oil leaks From
Dizzy
Sump
Oil pump + crank seal
And dipstick pipe needs changing to the original one
Also the need a decent exhaust from the manifold through cause it scrapes like mad and blows like mad
On a good note my Trax tickets have arrived thanks willay
Small update of the repair soon
Thanks
Kyle
