Just spoke to Rick.

Some cash is winging its way down the wire to Rick as I type.

I will be ringing Bridgefield 4x4 (who fitted the gearbox a few weeks ago) tomorrow and will certainly be expecting a refund of some of the cash that was paid for the original job.

Nissan1st (who we bought the replacement engine from) will accept a return of the engine minus a small fee for handling etc.

It is looking good, many thanks to Swifty and Rick for 'making it happen' :clap

many many many sincere thanks to you all , i guess i thought that all people where the same and ive been proved dramatically wrong , i hope you all dont think any less of me for not being able to physically do this myself and having to rely on garages / superstars for assistance .

the reason i ask is , when i used to race motorbikes back in the late 70s , my mechanic removed my air filter for one race .. it sounded very noisy , but went like a rocket

It may quite possibly have caused damage. Only time will tell. My mates 700 series turbo'd volvo screwed up after a connection down stream of the filter came loose, he didnt relaise it and ran it for a year plus with unfiltered air going in.

The analogy the mechanic made was that it was like chucking a handful of sand in every few weeks. OTT maybe but the principle is the same.

I would suggest this vehicle is checked out and serviced very very thoroughly very soon , check all details such compression etc. Then you'll have an idea what , if and when the next problem may be :thumb2
