On its way home without us:(

My own fault I think in not being fanatical enough about oil quality and possibly having a lifter fail after a very hot, long drive
Certainly sounds very similar to the other one on here right now
Cannot fault the AA Service they had two UK patrolmen to it in two hours who are spending nine weeks in a French holiday camp in the Deep South
Wonder if it will turn up at Craig's in Birmingham full of unwanted passengers in two weeks?

sorry to hear you car / holiday woes. Enjoy the holiday while you can.

did the piston noise get worse

hope you wont be at Calais fighting with Migrants trying to get back to the UK aswell. assume you have a lovely 1.0 hire car

Some friends are running a pool on how many migrants can fit in a vxr8
I did have a small scorpion come back in the monaro once

Sorry to hear about the car hope it's not to serious, just try and enjoy your holiday without the R8 what did the AA guy say it could be?

Sorry for you. Saw my previous VE on the AA truck too many times... It hurt more and more every time it happened.

[nickwaiheke]

its internal on drivers side.
AA man view was something like the lifter which based on th videos on line, sounds very similar
