...Gary Cook kindly called in to lend a hand....
...the car had developed an issue with difficulty engaging gears which was getting progressively worse, this turned out to be a cracked fork which had started to bend meaning the clutch wasn't engaging fully. This is a simple fix although unfortunately there was evidence of gear oil in the bell housing which means a strip to rectify so the gearbox will be going to Mike Bainbridge next week....
....wasn't any luckier with the engine either as there's a leak from the nose bearing which I could live with although it won't cure itself, this means another strip which Gary kindly said he'd take care of at GDC Automotive. Very good of him consider how busy they are......hopefully I'll have everything done before Christmas with the plan to sort a rolling road session with Nick Fulljames in January to get the car set up and ready for 2019....
....I've been a tad unlucky with this engine but it is a glorious unit and has given me plenty of smiles too......looks damn sexy too!
....
At least it's winter!
Cheers,
