V12 goes Knock!

[V12 Migaloo]

After extoling the virtues and strength of the V12 last week on SOTW, my very own V12, with about 176k on the clock started to develop a knock at low revs/idle.
Think it may be a valve or camshaft bearing or something… getting it looked at this afternoon, fingers crossed its nought serious.
If it is I may well be in the market for a V12 with manual box… (engine and g/box only)

Oh no... the gremlins must have been listening... I hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

I've banned anybody from saying "Le Mans" around my car just in case it gets any ideas.

We think its a water pump, fingers crossed.

Got 'em crossed, hope the V12's okay.

Phew, its the water pump.... still 8 hrs work though.... can that be right??? Oh well at least its cheaper then a camshaft
