The strip joint?

It's crap, go to players instead. It's near walkabout. You should head there on Tuesday if you're out

Watch out for smoke, tapping from the top end & headgasket tend to go. EGR valves can be an issue too, and the bottom pullie tends to wear and the timing will miss a tooth or ten.

None of this is relevant now

They "forgot to mention" the fact that the cam belt has snapped

Explains why it was so cheap though
