..anyway.
The car has recently taken a catastrophic failure - the car started off with a bad side-to-side shake when under load, initial thought was bearing, but has got continously worse and now it soundd (when under load) the car is going to snap something considerable with a large amount of side to side wobble (and when i say large, i mean, horrendously large, a good foot sidetoside movement).
After speaking to max and attempting to diagnose myself, we've concluded the clutch has collapsed and creating a horrendous amount of slap. So no driving for now - i done about 150miles as it was to get it home, and need to do another 100 or so to get it on the drive..
All parts have been ordered, apart from clutch and engine mounts - going to get on that this evening probably, then get the new engine in ASAP so the car is still on the road.
Running a T2 for now on a TMIC until i get round to sorting the adapter plates and down pipe for the VNT.
