This is bonkers, for the price of that lease they surely could have just subbed it out to a specialist to rebuild it?

Someone somewhere must have rebuilt one of these surely?!

Excellent news, fingers crossed here that they live up to the promises made. Well done on the patience front.

Hopefully the first drive will remind you why you have been through all the headaches.

Fantastic. Hopefully it now gives you many miles of good motoring. I bet it'll need a good clean after so long sitting around!
