As Roy Castle used to say....... "Dedication is what you need" and if you ask me the guys at WRD have it by the bag load!

Richie started on my car at 9:30am Sunday morning and finished at 10:00am Monday morning! (Sorry mate, I hope the beers for you and the wine for the lovely Lilly go some way....)

Now thats not to say that these guys are slow, but i presented them with a few challenges along the way.....

No locking wheel nut remover,
A sandwich plate that was faulty,
A broken engine mount,
A radiator full of brown sludge,
An engine screwed together so tight that it took 2 people with scaff tubes to loosen the Cam pulleys!

I drove away from Castle Richie at 1pm this afternoon as he slept soundly in his bed and set the satnav to take me to Chesterfield via B roads only!

What can I say guys and gals....

Nutter John.... :iloveyou: The Apexi AVCR and SAFC are sorted and work like a dream.

Richie Rich.... /notworthy What you did was above and beyond the call of duty.

SGHOM....:thumbsup: At least I know what your handle means!

Lillywotshername.... /Wyhy Nice to meet you, you should be a saint!


The drive was a hoot, the engine is sooooo smooth and the gearbox too!

I'll post the rolling road dyno sheets tomorrow night when I get home from Nobles.
