    I think the general consensus is that im gonna go for it myself.. the engine is in, and cambelts on.. INSERT INTO post VALUES (but need expert to double check that) once checked by a mate of mine, and received some advice, im just gonna put it all back together, and fire her up.. is she blows, she blows.. if she works, then happy joy, ive saved my self a fortune.. but as i said, if it goes.. then.. ack... what the hell.. been off the road for god knows how many months.. might aswell be off for a few more....

    What a story!

    Good to see you've got her back OK

    I can't believe they just downed tools and left like that!

    I think Mo needs an award for 'Services rendered to the club' - As Pete's said, that went above and beyond!!

    Kieran.
