Am I mental?

170k 4.4 V8 not the 4.2 Supercharged

Timing chain rattle (could be a Vanos), an air suspension fault and a crappy carbon wrap alongside two stupid bonnet vents.

Don't forget the "Ducati race can" exhaust.

Mrs doesn't know and Mrs will be very unhappy as I haven't had any luck selling my Golf or the Fiesta.

Very, although if sorted could be a lovely car!

The timing chain rattle would be my biggest concern, it could be as simple as a new tensioner but it could also need the guides replacing. From experience I've found the vanos units on the M62 can get very rattly but rarely fail.

Oh, and yes, you're mental!

Meh what's a Saturday afternoon doing a timing chain?

Shame they don't seem to be worth loads!
