OMG!!!
just got back to work from picking it up, 30+ miles of pure joy....
nice seats, firm ride, quick shift, light clutch
feels worlds apart from the 2.0R i've been burinng about in
I even forgot about the 'I' dial that was in the centre !!!!!
spoke to mechanic who has done 70 miles in it with plenty of ecu readings etc etc with no problems reported, told me to take it easy for 2/300 miles then open her up - taking it back after a 1000 miles for oil/filters change (if i want)
have picked up a PPP system for £170 from Crossroads so the system will be back to warranty standard
waiting on tyres to go on the wheels then i shall for sure be fitting them

Chuffed you got the car back - you keeping it a while then Mark ?
I'm curious... why change the left bank exhaust cam pulley? Was it damaged or is that another potential failure mode??

The 330S got a few treats today.
Following teasing Revolution for discount, I got a Jap rear "fog" light, zerosports cool aid 2 for TMIC and Summit radiator splitter ... for a fair few quid off!
Didn't take long to fit ( light was longest as had to remove several bits of plastic trim first! ) , back end looks more balanced, the engine bits I'll see if they do anything tomorrow on run to work!!

Nice one mate
They look really good, post up some pics once the suspension has settled and you're on a nice flat surface.
Glad it's all worked out peachy in the end

I got the one off the demo car, and a new Summit radiator splitter ( in black, matches the dark grey hatch better than silver Zero Spports one even if it was also discounted as off the demo / Glenn's car! )

cheers codie
as well as the brand new GT-1 wheel I have for sale , the 4 off my car with 235/40/18 with Pirelli Pzero Corsa tyres
looking for around £1250 (the tyres cost £900 on their own!!!)
all have between 6 -3mm of tread from indicator left on them, 2 were only replaced 3 months ago, and the car has spent one month off the road
