arrr this is scary lol never done this before :S
im not really sure what the crack was with he boaring out to be honest my uncle had it done for me and ive never really asked questions about it.

im not reli bothered if it is made of choc to be honest, the l200 eng has only 30,000 on the clock and i didnt pay anything for it so im happy with it , at the min i just run about the farm in the landy and it isnt really pushed to its limits, really i want to run it on red deisiel, currently in the market for a late 200tdi defender to use as the run about.

30,000 eh? It's doing well, I know several people who have had completely destroyed engines whilst still under warranty and the CCC don't want to know!!!! I'd line up another spare lump, just in case
