UPDATE..
This happened mid September..
The camseal somehow popped out causing oil starvation and because the bill was coming in at over £1300 including a 2nd had gearbox, i told Andy to leave it until after xmas to start it as with xmas coming up etc i needed any savings for this and Andy needed the money for parts so i told him there was no immediate rush.
So i payed Andy for the parts on the 31st Dec to get cracking on with the rebuild, also sent up a bottom ball joint for the nearside as this was the only advisory on the mot sheet, i also told him to replace the outer cv boot on the far side driveshaft as this has a tiny split in and i want the car absolutely 100% perfect when i collected it.
So i picked my car up from clioturbo a couple of weeks a go, its had a lot of new parts fitted in the engine including new rings, rods, cranshaft etc etc and also a replacement gearbox to replace the one that crunched into 3rd gear at high rpm.
The rev limit is at 4.5k rpm and its running low boost until i have run it in and had it mapped, i should be getting it mapped by EFI parts early next month when i have reached 500 or so running in miles.
I gave it a clean the other day, heres a few pics of how it stands atm, i cant wait to get it mapped!
Thanks for reading.
