    Payment & Shipping Details: cash on collection

  2. Yeah cool mate, only thing though to inspect it properly it'll have to be dismantled. And once it's dismantled it'll have to be rebuilt so it's upto you.

    Ah really I didn't know that. It's doesn't have any play and doesn't smoke. It was just for piece of mind really but there's no point pulling apart a good turbo. Cheers for the info dude

  3. Yep no management the cam lobes all have chips on them, boost pipes have electrical tape on most of the joins, the waste gate wasn't plumed in correctly.

    The kid obviously had no idea how to put cars together so I'm just gonna rip it all out and start again

    @liam D if I remember correctly you work for a turbo company?? I might sen you the turbo to have a look at before I sell it if that's cool??

  4. fucking hell both top end and bottom knocking like a whores knees

    Haha yeh mate sounds proper

    top and bottom ends .. as you said mate monkeys workin on it

    i thought the previous owner was doin good work on it bit i obvisualy got that wrong ha

    hope it all goes good for you .. atleast you have a swanky turbo to put on the new engine when it comes

    Yeh it looks good from the pics in the build thread. But seeing it in the flesh is another storey.

    The turbo kit will be up for sale to try and recover some money.

    If I ever run into the kid that sold me this car at any shows god help him!!

  5. I agree Ryan. All he was willing to do is pay for the recovery truck and replaced the rocker cover gasket. I will just have to see how long it lasts. I would me more than happy with a new engine but as far as he is concerned the engine hasn't been damaged even though it had been knocking.

  6. It was a school boy error on my behalf buying a car without looking at it first. I thought the guy was a genuine seller but turns out not. The car had apparently just ha a new rocker gasket and oil change.

    I will change the oil and filter before I drive home and hope for the best

  7. Right I brought a gt off a member on here. Sent the mrs up to collect it and after less than an hours driving the oil light flickered on and it stopped dead. The recovery driver told her it had a bad knock form the bottom end.

    Anyway the guy I brought it off came to have a look at the car out oil in it and the knock had gone. All that needed replacing was the rocker gasket. Whig he came back and replaced

    So what I want to know is who thinks the car is gonna last and make the 2 hour drive home?? I don't get back from Australia till the 20th and will be going to collect it that day.
