Its nice to have her back after Parr did a good job patching her up.

Shocking how expensive the cam chain tensioners are for the GT3 considering what they are (Paul showed me one), but the car doesn't sound like the engines being ripped to shreads when it starts now (crossing fingers no previous internal damage done)..

50 miles on the clock since picking her up and 110mph accelerating hard last night with the coolant light started to flash. Whilst the detector can be extremely sensitive, experience already means I need to start looking for leaks (and they replaced the rear coolant drain plugs - so hopefully its just a top up).

If you fancy a quick spin on sunday morning, let me know.

Is yours the silver GT3 at Parrs awaiting the same fix?

Was £900 parts + 5-6 hours labour. So yes.
