Knocking

[scientific steve]

This aint been my weekend, i am very unhappy at the mo

i am on holiday as of wednesday and was ment to be seeing the flat four god andy f. on friday to get my type R sorted but guess what?

there is a knocking in my engine that i am sure is bottom end bearing [:'(]

so aint able to get the mota flying like a good un and it's gonna hurt my beer vouchers a little bit

any ideas as what could be a good plan of action?

Not so good Steve[]

Best plan of action would be to get someone to have a look at her for you.

Trouble is that this is where the money starts to fly out of the wallet.

Trying to find a garage that hasn't got horses tied outside isn't so easy theses days. (yee ha)

Options would be to either repair the btm end you have or get your hands on a short motor.

Either way your going to be upwards of £1700-£2500 by the time parts, labour[:$][6] and VAT are all billed to you.

Not sure if Russell (WUZ) will be up for having a look at this when hes back.

I know hes got a lot on his plate just now.

STI short motors are thin on the ground just now. I was looking for one a few weeks back and results were poor.

I will PM you with a couple of numbers to ring that were promising.

Cheers
