Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 ouch. Looks like your engine upgrade may need to come sooner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yep - just back in, AA man was uber quick luckily as I'd left the house unlocked while popping round the corner for a quick shakedown run. Only myself to blame - I looked at the cambelt in my hand (after changing oil pump) and though "hmm, maybe I should put a new one on while I am on". But didn't - cos I are mostly a muppet. Famous last words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Did Mr. Valve say hello to Mr. Piston? Good to hear they got to you quickly given you'd left the door unlocked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Gutted for you Chris Be off the road until next spring now? Not likely mate - will fix it it or put ST170 motor in before then! Busy weekend ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingster Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Did Mr. Valve say hello to Mr. Piston? Not sure TBH - but would be surprised if they didn't exchange telephone numbers at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
