I`d get it fixed, you`ll know exactly what you`ve got when it comes back, what has Roy suggested to do with it? You know it`s in safe hands down in Arbroath.

Roy thinks i would be better fixing it even though he did suggest putting in another engine, again though he said that if i keep this one at least then i know the engines history. I'm going with the repair to be honest i can only afford to pay something with my credit card as the money i have at the moment is to help me with my new flat

Would be a good choice stoney, might b a bit slower in a straight line but they handle soooo much better!

i can afford to sort this engine back to its past state just not to add the uprated parts i need at the moment. On a lighter note if you end up going to crail or something soon then keep an eye out for a nova saloon in brown looks standard apart from cavvie gsi wheels and same cage as me ........... 16v
