It's even worse when you have a replacement engine fitted

Yep 16 valve integrale I just re-built the engine after a cambelt snapped (due to some dick putting the old one back on after re-building my engine for me [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]) It took me 3 months I think just to put 700 miles on
