So she hassnt been too well!
Bought a bad one! :(
Had it 2 weeks and the cam belt slipped 4 teeth! causing just a little bit of damage! However.... had my mechanic repair it for £260 inc parts and as a result its much better, but now has a very distinct tappet noise when cold :(
So felt i had better treat her and buy her a carbon fibre bonnet and a superchip.
Then the alternator went! a week later! so obviously iam gutted! and mad!
and at the time couldnt find one for shit!
so took it off the road then waited until i had some more money behind me!
Now christmas has passed and i have more money behind me, i had decided its about time to get the beast back on the road!!
So took her o see my mechanic again and he was to look it over before its MOT to highlight any problems!
Bad news, obviously had an MOT then had an accident!
it had a broken wishbone, lower swivel joint and a bent rear axel and the wheels (although they look great) are the wrong offset so scrub on full lock!
Sourced the parts and now its just a wait to see what else the MOT picks up on thursday!
But she Will be back!
I now really dont care about cost! SHE WILL BE BACK!
To be continued......... :?: :!: :?: :!:
