Hi all. Today the weather was fantastic so i got to do what i have been waiting to do since last year, that is get the bonnet off and get the engine out for a strip down to see where all those bits of metal came from. I started at 08:00 and it was out at 17:00. I am pleased i got it out in a day, bu...
