Of all the cars I would definitely say this one would've wrecked the engine as the tyre blew out on me once forcing me up a bank and then the oil cooler burst.
I'm sure that was on the same day as well wasn't it John ?



Its a miracle no major damage was done! I didnt spot any damage to the cambelt, and was half tempted to cut the aux belt to move it onto the road.

The cooler pipes burst and tyre happened on the same visit to you I think, I cant remember if it was on the same day though. The front spring snapped on you as well, but I think that was a different visit confused
I know the car likes to make your life difficult whenever she is in your workshop hehe

Ahh yeah I forgot about the spring.
I thought the wheel had come off when it snapped.

Might get you to drive it out the workshop for me laugh
