Just got in from changing the rear diff, swapped the wheels round and checked the props and vcu, all good but found i need a new middle exhaust box mot in 4 days
now to try and warm up, wish i had a heated workshop but a drive is better than in the road.

Just sorted the water in the boot problem out ( I Hope ), only noticed it the day went away :screaming_bug_eye_f as i woz checking the spare, turned out to be the sunroof drain tube, cleaned the crap out of it, put some duck tape round it to hold the tubes together and put some silicon round the base of the black rubber tube on the arch so hope that sorts it. :5bsifone:

Booked mine in with my indie to get looked at.....the dreaded tapping when warm...maybe a new engine block on the cards for 2015.
valley pan gasket failure is a common cause

Thanks, not heard much about that tbh.
Hope so, manifold, rocker cover etc off to see whats evident on Jan 5th. Definately a metallic tap at piston speed though (like a liner working it's way through the fire ring). Do hope i'm wrong!
