    Copy of my letter.

    Dear Kent

    I own the Uk website for williamsclios. (www.williamsclio.co.uk) and a few of my members, including myself are running your RN2002 cams and pulleys.

    Over the past few weeks, it has become known to me that there is a potential design problem with these cams in the F7R engines.

    Since one of my own members had this problem (2months ago whilst on a club driving day), i have foundout that there have been 4 other failures of the same type in other peoples cars - resulting in catastrophic engine failures.

    I have only just recently fitted mine and have covered 1000 miles, but i am now worried about running them.

    Is there a recall on these cams that i haven't been made aware of ?

    I am having some headwork done on the car soon and the cams will be out of the car.....can i send them back to yourselves for checking and testing please.

    I carnt afford to take a risk on a common problem that could cause thousands of pounds worth of engine failure.


    Many thanks.
