The car should be worth that much to any T5R owner! We need to keep these cars on the road, there are so few left (850r's included) we all need to fight with insurance companys to keep them running...
Errr...IT IS ROAD LEGAL!!!!!!!
lol....
Yes they did value it at £7500 which was kinda helpful, they understood it was a rare car and agreed to repair it. Kinda lucky for me.

It is the oil breather hose. Will cost an arm and a leg to leg to fix as the manifold has to come off. Had mine done a while back I think the bill was nearly 300!!!! :jaw:

Glad you got it fixed and that only the spark plugs where at fault.

Hmmm...why would i want to fit a dump valve when the supplier of the Turbo states that one is not required?
Iain
Its been in the car for nearly a year now with no problems. Still have 1 year warrenty left.
I must record how mine sounds when i get it back then youcan all hear that wonderful sound of the air passing back over the turbine blades.
Raise you to £10....roflmao
Not yet they havn't!!!!!.....hehe
Na get a bigger/Hybrid Turbo and do away with the dump valve altogether.

Spark plugs, HT leads or maybe the dizzy cap/rotor arm worth checking first.
