My Car is Fooked... :(
Pulled up at the petrol station yesterday, filled up, went across the weir roundabout towards thundersley, could hear knocking.
in fear of something terminal, i limped it to my mates shop (about 1 mile)
had a look under the bonnet, and the crank pulley bolt had come out and the pulley was resting on the on the plastic cover below it, still with the bolt.
the garage were no help last night, and a mate managed to washer the bolt to get me to my mates house.
the car was bought 2 months ago with a 3 month warranty.
i am going to ring the warranty people at 9.00 and get it sorted hopefully.
in the meantime i'm a memeber of the SIWC !!
hohum!!

Awe man 
hopefully you can get it done under warranty?
If they won't give my friend Steve a call 04770886589 from "British Legends" he is a genius and cheap too but most of all I trust him as I have known him about 15 years
! He is a MG/Lotus specialist but does all the work on my car and my friends FQ300 too.
Either way good luck and if their is anything I can do to help let me know

Sorry to hear that dazza! If you need a hand just let me know. Like frayz said if the timing hasnt moved all shoud be ok. Check the thread in the crank tho mate, it may be fooked.

Phew. Good news you sorted it out.Big load off your mind.Keep an eye on the bolt for a few miles & check it's still tight every now & then.
