The Curse of Fish hill, Broadway.

The curse of Fish Hill near Broadway.

About 6 weeks ago I bought a fire blade engine car from the depths of Wales. It soon developed severe clutch drag, turned out to be the actuating rod and the metal plates £140 later, fixed.  Took it for a drive in the Cotswold and up the infamous Fish hill where it dumped all the water, got it trailered home, water pump gone £200 back on the road.  A couple of weeks later run in the Cotswolds up the  Fish hill stopped at the top, battery flat, trailered home on investigation new battery and regulator £160. Next weekend out again engine overheated, electric fan not working lost the water again, trailered home, now permanently on until I can get a switch.  Today went to Long Marston drag strip scenic route up the Fish hill got to the top and the car will no longer hold in 3rd and 4th gears. Looks as though the gearbox needs to come out and be rebuilt, someone mentioned something about dogs.  and said it will be expensive.  Just to add insult to injury headlights on the way home have stopped working!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking for a gearbox for a fireblade 929. 2001.

Forgot one other thing, the power commander has developed a fault and is now disconnected.. Have ben told to check the earth wire and take it to a rolling road as the program may of been corrupted!!

Sounds a bit fishy to me  

Sounds like the best bet would be to find another engne and use it as  a donor. good luck with the repairs

love the fish  

i suggest you fix the motor, run it in without going near broadway or the fish till you sure everythings ok  

then you  have to do the fish again just to break the curse
