Well reading all 3 threads on the subject ....  nowhere does it actually say what happened ???

:(

OK .. call me nosey (waits for all the posts) .. but I'd really like to know ..

I have my own theory on the root cause of whatever it is ... and is linked to the comment "gold, beige, homosexual" in another thread....

Jaime, PM sent mate.

I felt the same when I first blew the big end out of that lovely MV6, and then cooked my 2.5 Elite, because I was stupid enough to leave the header tank cap off..  :(

If it needs a repair job, I will come and help you whenever you like  :y
pm recv'd, thanks. Until I've had a look, no idea of what needs doing, or if I'll bother, or break it instead.

The first thing I'll be looking at tomorrow is valve timing.  That should give enough ideas to the type of noise it is...

Arr well, the tyres needed replacing anyway.  At least the golden nugget did the job it was bought for, so my holiday in Wales was saved :D

Hadn't missed a beat for 2000 miles since I got it, then went unexpectedly (at less than walking pace, manuovering in carpark at last night's ABS meet, much to the amusement of the ABS members ;D
