you really need a TVS! Roger's Harrop 122 also has knackered bearings. Sounds like they are only engineered to last a few years. Anyway, good to hear Monkfish have sorted you out.
would like a TVS but, its to much money
also need forged pistons 1st and a cam smile

if only more garages could be like that, service like that makes me want a VXR8 even more
to true yes

i live 100 miles from monkfish and most times stay in a hotel for the night to pick up the car next day , but well worth it
been using monkfish for 2years now and very happy with all the work done to my car smile
also never known a company that will sit a talk on the phone or on the forum , and help you out ,even if there is no money in it for them .. my car will never go anywere else.

last year they drove my car 50 miles down the motorway at 9pm
to meet in a service station ,just to save me driving all the way up there smile ( job had over run and i needed my car quick)

Almost immediately, at 12psi, Roger changed out 2 sets of bearings before coming to the conclusion that the bearing was redundant as there isn't one on the 112.


All done at no cost to me.....
strange that thier was a problem with mine ??
the fish has put the bearing back in on mine
