Jacked the Noble up the other day to get one of the screws out of the undertray so I could get the correct screw in stainless.

Just finished jacking it up and it slipped of the jack:-

Damaged the undertray, damaged the fuel pump and split the sil.

£800 woth of damage.

Not a happy chappy.

Yep the cil repair is the biggest cost.

Peter Smith sports cars collected the car in a enclosed transporter with Noble all over the sides and rear.

The transporter looked great.

I'm having a lube service while it's in dock, I'll be all set for summer.

Sorry here that, i imagine your heart dropped into your stomach when it happened.
Its only cosmetic with the sills, the great thing about fibreglass is that it is so easy to repair, if it has damaged the sill pan, they are separate to the main floor pan, so not a big issue, i just replaced mine on either side and they cost 15 euro each, just redrilled from the old one. New fuel pump about 150, your main cost will be paint. Everything happens for a reason, even if it seems bad at the time, it is fate, the car and you may end up being better for it, your lucky that did not happen while you were underneath doing the floor pan or it could have been a scene from the wizard of Oz.

You're spot on with the pricing Chris and you're right I could have been underneath the car "Phew" glad I wasn't.

Hope to get Her back next Friday.



The said transporter.
