The other month the Amarok TPMS light came on and I noted this screw where it shouldn’t be.
So promptly went to my local friendly tyre shop and got it sorted for pennies with a plug. I’m probably going to replace the rubber on the truck this year with new so happy it could get repaired.
Went over to my mates to assist with engine removal from his Nova as it’s a 100-a-day smoker and was still as bad after a head refresh. Our initial suspicions were bottom end but the head was ready for a freshen up so that got sorted first, slapped together for a few more track day jollies and now time for the bottom end.
Head removal which made the tight bay a little less tight.
Block and box split and stuff everywhere. We suspect it was the piston oil rings but noticed the block had a bit too much piston slap so he’s got another block and new pistons being outsourced for a bottom end refresh as we don’t have time to tickle it ourselves.
A recent holibobs over to Llandudno in the truck lead to some extreme parking!
Walked the Great Orme and then decided to drive it the following afternoon as the weather was amazing.
On the way back I thought I’d pop into MWP for a nosey at what they had in.
Had a chat with Mike in sales and a poke around. The 3x Maloos were lovely and if you’re in shopping mood why not buy an ultra-rare and mint 2019 VXR8 GTS-R for £89,995 mwhahaha
