Mmm. Building up a lot of brownies whilst she is sat on ar$e in Tuscany. Balcony finished in american oak (couldn't get engerlish!) and Matt and I oiled it all up tonight before the brazil game. My task for the week is taking the bleedin' rad out again to find out where leak is as water seeping all over garage floor. Indulgence tried a repair job on it but it still has a problem so time maybe to change it as well as all the hoses that are showing their age. Job for saturday before kev's party. Fortunately no bikes apparently..... :(

Update

Engineer came out today and has told me he will approve the claim in the morning :D

His main concern was that the garage I had chosen had kit car experience - which is of course why I chose Indulgence. He said he'd seen several cases of a kit car going into a "normal" garage only for work to stop half way through because they lacked experience with kits.

When I got the car up on ramps I discovered that the sump damage is worse than I thought. Apart from all the cracks it has a whole 1 inch wide by 6 inches long! I just hope there is no internal damage - we'll see.

Hopefully on the mend by this time next week :D

Ouch! Check the block for damage and cracks. Looks similar to a block and sump I bought off someone. Broke cast engine mount bolt holes too!!!!
