She's back from the dead!!!!!

[foxy600]

If anyone remembers the saga with my S2 and a certain rolling road, just thought I would let you know she's back from the garage/dead whoohoo!
Luckily enough the damage done was not fatal, I caught it early, so ended up needing new big-end bearings and a new oil pump. Guglielmi in Daventry did the work...and I can highly recommend them, great bunch of guys.
I am now getting over 60psi oil pressure (which is nice), and now horrible rattling noises.

So it looks like I am back on for S Club Heaven..it was looking touch and go for a while.

PS. Thanks for all the tips on getting the sump off, Guglielmi ended up cutting the chassis crossmember, dropping the sump, doing the work, then welding in a new section

LOL...yes I do mean 'no' horrible rattling noises!

Steve, Dave and Wayne at Guglielmi were all great, sorted the engine out, and got it running better than ever.

I intend to come to the next Northants meet, missed a few recently
