its dead! on a tow truck to corsa heaven!

[pipz]

just been to the garage about my sri and the news is bad. water pump seized up, and took the engine with it. needs new water pump, valves ,cam kit,pretensioner things and lots more! so i shall be stripping her and putting anything thats any good on ebay! im sooooo not impressed!
back to the pushbike oh joy!
my green sports no where near ready for the road either sob sob.

REST IN PEICES LOL

[PaulW]

Waterpump - £25
Head set (valves, guides, gaskets) - £60ish
Timing belt kit inc. Idlers - £60ish again

Cost to get a head built up with the new valves, about £40-ish at a backstreet garage. Easy enough to do the work yourself if your fairly competent! If not, expect labor to be about £150-£250 mark...

[PaulW]

OR just source another X14XE for about £200 and spend the day with a few mates, and swap it over

[pipz]

the bloke at the garage said it wud be more than that, he said the valves are about 18 quid each and i need most of them, thos e and all the other parts dont make it worth doin, was gonna sell it in a month when my sports on the road,only wanted around 600,not worth spending more than 150 on it i dont think.
strip and sell get some of my 600, and at least i got some spares for the sport lol.

shud get it back tomoz so if any1 wants any of it let me know

what you gonna be doing with the wheels if your selling can i have the size off them the offset and such if u are

[pipz]

sorry those are my little girls, they will probably be goin on my sport.

[PaulW]

bloke at the garage is trying to pull a fast one... £18 EACH per valve??
