The 'fireturd' is making slow progress. A friend had a fire under the bonnet of his 411 about 1 1/2 years ago. He left it with a garage who was going to rebuild it but they had it over a year and only took the engine out, painted the engine and put the bare engine back in. Since we have had it, we have refitted most of the auxiliaries. We have had a couple of set backs - water pump bolts missing and down pipes fitted with random bolts and no gaskets. We got the engine running up to temperature for the first time only to find the seals in the oil pump were leaking. If the garage had done them when the engine was out it would have taken minutes to do!!! Now it is going to take a little longer but we will sort it.
