No, you need to get it checked out

I notice you are in London; can't explain it, but in hot conditions and stationary traffic I smell petrol in mine. Always have - before and after the rebuild.

K12AN - out of interest, did you buy the grigio titanio tamora (NEJ) with the red rose engine transplant?

[K12AN]

Yes...why?

Please don't tell me something I don't want to hear?

Do you know something I should?

[TGJR]

DON'T PANIC! I spotted the car in the classifieds and I was the first owner! I visited the factory to spec it (selecting colour, interior scheme etc.) and took delivery from HHC Harrogate back in July 2002.

I had the car for approx. a year and sold it as I needed more of an everyday drive at the time. I very much enjoyed driving it and would certainly consider another Tamora in the future as a fun car.

I'm suprised the original engine only lasted until 18k as I ran it in religiously, never reving over 3000rpm for the first 1000 miles and then gradually increasing revs over the next few hundred.

Hope you enjoy it and I am pleased that it is still running well and giving driving enjoyment

Wow - thats great!
Really like the spec you chose.
The interior needs a little bit of tidying, but the car still looks great.
The dash is showing lines and there is an oil warning light which I can't read properly, so I am litle scared. Want to sort it out asap!
I can see that you looked after her well and still have your receipts.
