There have been many ups and downs since taking the C70 over to HLM for them to shake it down. The radiator gave out, so I had to get a new one. A few loose jubilees on the water circuit, plus I didnt quite tighten up the oil filter housing causing a minor oil slick on the workroom floor.
I think I found the final oil leak today - missing bolt from the cam cover - but with a fair wind I think we are getting there. Glad to have the car back home now, though I still get the feeling the ECU is still trying to fathom out WTF happened over the last 6 months - a few codes appeared today along with an intermittant rough idle.
P0140 - 02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1 )
P0014 - B Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance Bank 1
I replaced the VVT unit with a brand new one, when we put the cambelt on - and she decided to have an allergic reaction, throwing http://www.obd-codes.com/p0014 but it didn't persist for very long - cleared itself - so I am not 100% sure what that meant. Going to keep a close eye on that - perhaps the solenoid itself it suspect?
If it continues to appear I will have to see if Colin will lend me the cam lock tools so I can double check the timing.
I am off to see Graeme for final finsihing on the 3 inch cat back this Saturday - first proper long run out. Just hope everything stays in one piece.

Still feel a little edgy towards it. I still need to install the electronics for reading the oil pressure & temp. Its always the little pieces e.g. copper washers or some random auxiliary system that gives me the grief.
Don't get me wrong, getting it back is a major achievement & I was very happy last night, but I have this nagging doubt it's all going to blow up in a minute.

Looking good Dave
Coolant temp is bang on 90 degrees. HLM pressurised it to 1.5bar and left it for an hour - with no losses. I am pretty confident I have that bit covered.
last oil leak seems ok. Levels on my 80 mile round trip to see friends in Brum was uneventful though the P0014 code keeps re-occuring. I have ordered a new VVT solenoid. Should be with me by Monday.
