Hi all, i'm sorry but its rant time,
My 850R auto is having a bit of a troubled time, I had some smoke when i was sat at idle normally at traffic lights which came a bit embarrassing as people behind couldn't see, diagnosis was turbo seals, so i dug deep and had a new 16t turbo fitted, and it was superb well for the 10 miles it lasted.
I had been noticing that the car was sounding like a kettle when i'd parked it up, diagnosis was expansion cap not holding pressure, cheap fix i thought.....O NO NO NO after many many hours and solutions, the plugs were taken out and a camera shoved in, which was not good, the piston bores were full of water, so it was head gasket, NO NO NO, what happened was i'd detonated my engine and it ws slowly killing itself when the fun pedal was pressed. new second hand engine was sourced, cam belt fitted all my good bits are being transfered and hopefully it will be sorted but i am losing faith after £1600 spent so far, (just dont tell my wife).
Thanks to HLM for stopping me burning it......at the minute lol
Rant over enoy your evening
