Intermediate shaft went then trashed the bearing which broke up and did a fine job of trashing the engine.

Coming back from the Lake District, almost home and it sounded like a bag of nails in the engine bay, trailer jobe next morning to the OPC.

New engine approved quickly by Porsche and new one from Germany dropped in at Reading.

Or keep on condition as Jamies motto seems to be....
