Question

Does anyone own a red (I think it was S reg) turbo that had No3 or 4 piston let go about 2 months ago.

The car was bought (I believe) from Reg Vardy and this work was being carried out at Nobles under warranty?

I have a horrible feeling that the owner of this car isn't going to want to know what you're probably going to tell them

My guess is it'll go something like this:

dude: yeah, that's my car!!
sipie: oh, its just that they took every component imaginable off it and fitted it to mines drove **** out of it and then chucked it all back on....oh and I saw them holding the revs at 7k for 10 mins just for fun.
dude: BANG....shots himself

Noble's driving the **** out of a car? Surely not? Thrashing the hell out of my clutch? Surely not? Charging over the odds for a job? Again, surely not?

I think you get what i am saying

Crushinator... Hear you loud and clear...!

Would be very interested to trace the owner of this car though.

Do not want to post details on line though but an interesting tale all the same.

If the guy has bought the car from Nobles recently then there is no need to worry him.

This would only apply if the same owner had kept the car as he may have noticed a few subtle changes to his motor!!

But seriously, no problem if he has bought it with a warranty!!!

Cheers

There's a red 4dr Turbo which has only recently surfaced on my estate.
I suspect it has a private reg now, however looks like a MY99/00 and has Nobles plates on it.
