and i drove that with the grandkids in ? :eek:
 
good these two guys have been amazing is there funds left to send as well, also briggie i think at some point the post left in the good garage thingy for that other lot should be removed lol
 
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

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
