Hello

Twas me - the car lost a rotar coming down the hill from J4 and is now in need of an engine rebuild.  I guess it was an apex seal or something, there was a bang/pop then it just lost power in 4th gear

A big thanks must go out to RWDFreak from the MRC who stopped and let me sit in his warm and comfy X5 whilst waiting for my girlfriend in the EP3

Cars back home now ready for the engine to be pulled...

i told my girlfirend that "o o look theres an RX7 on the other side with a CTR stopped aside," she says maybe been racing and stopped to have a chat,  
so i says more likely the engine has gone!!  :wiggle   she refused to believe me, bah, women!!! what do they know?!?!

unlucky mate, couldnt have been a worse day for it to happen, you were lucky people were willing to stop and help you,

Pat,

Hi mate,  sorry - I saw a Silver FD in a Car Park yesterday morning at CW.  Thought it may have been Monkey.

Thanks guys can\'t be helped - probably my fault for trying to get away from the audi that was hassling me at the top of the hill

I\'d checked everything before I left, oil, water even started the car from hot.  Then all of a sudden in 4th gear it just let go  Co-incides with the electrical problems its been having of late - the EDFC keeps switching off as does the stereo...

Never mind time for some porting and billet eccentric shaft i think, gotta make better use of the T04R this time around

Hey Glenn, wasn\'t me at CW I was pootling around Central London on Friday tho.
