Got your txt and it pi$$ed me off even more at not having my car. (but pleased you had a good blast )
BUT, RG have the go-ahead for a respray and a couple of other bits, and i am going down there tomorrow to chat about my other little project :whistle?
I might as well finish knackering the thread as it might make some of you chuckle.
I said:
should it leak oil from that wotsit there or is it fooked
mechanic said:
If you drive it hard it'll breath oil from there, do you drive it hard often?
I said:
You could say that, does a run outs, a few laps of the ring and a few attempts at max speed count?
mechanic said:
YES!

However, What is that ill check mine, in fact dont tell me you car has a maintenance spending taste my wife would be proud of I dont want mine to catch the bug, ooh dear too late the wife been shopping again
Dave, as I was saying today to the guys at the garage, it's done 114,000miles (it had 26,000 when I got it just over 4 years ago) if you include everything but the new engine it's not actually been that expensive per mile. I'm also the most unlucky person I know.
I can show you what I was talking about on your car on the next run, it's not a problem though even if there is oil, I'd have never noticed if it wasn't for the vacuum pipes that I replaced.
I just wish the suspension was more, how do you say, "robust".

Agreed, the cost's v's mileage you've done it puts my mind at rest im on 47000 now, and yours stands as a very strong example. Just hope mine does a good a service 70000 miles, numerous countries, the ring, and countless hoons to go and we'll see.
