The grief goes on

FLYING BANANA · 11th May 2011, 06:19

After alot of talking between the garage and the warranty company, the garage have finally started on stripping the engine down. The good news is that the head gasket was the old type. The one with the rubber seal in between. The bad news is. In order to get to the cambelt cover the garage decided to take the front wheel off as it gives better access.
The locking wheel nut sheared off.

So still no Banana. But I am still going down to Dorset for this weekend's meet in a Ford Focus, but I'll put an MG badge on and make out it is a new MG. I don't think anyone will notice.
