Ah well - just a couple of days after posting about the greatly improved reliability of the latest Tuscans, mine came back home tonight on the back of an AA truck after blowing a head gasket (I think - there was coolant leaking out the front somewhere, and lots of smoke coming out the left exhaust)...

That'll teach me to say nice things about it!

Does anyone have any ideas how long this takes to fix?

Hi Neil,

The car is now on it's way to the dealer (very impressed with the AA, as they turned up exactly when I asked them to this morning), and they will then ship it back to the factory.

They've not said how long it will take yet, but I hope to get an update in a couple of days once they've had a look at the car.

As it is still under warranty, I'm not expecting to pay anything.

Hi Ed

Really sorry to hear that mate. When did it happen, at the event or on the way home?

Mines in next week for a slight missfire. It also turns out I was one of the mugs they didn't bother to give the close ratio box to, so it will have to go in for that change in a month or so.

C'est la vie.

It happened at the event - just after one of the runs.

How do you know if you've got the C/R box? I just assumed mine has it!
