th4neuk Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Hey Guys, Well got my car back from PNM after having the manifold studs, Cambelt and tensioners, all the water and oil pipes and new engine mountings done (plus a few other bits which needed doing) and touching a large chunk of wood it is fine (apart from the aircon which I need to get gassed). Drove home an absolute peach. I think it's the first time it's had full on power since I got it. V8's are a bit swift aren't they!!!! Big thanks to Pete and the guys at PNM. Anyway as it is now all fixed we've decided to take the V8 to Le Mans instead of Carolyn's Superb. Awesome!!!!!!!! Can't wait and really looking forward to it. Gonna be the longest road trip in an esprit yet and apart from keeping an eye out for the Gendarme it should be good. Keep your eyes open for us in a darn sarf and foreign area!!!
