I have had so much bad luck this year with my XR4i Cossie Turbo its untrue
First off had headgasket problem, fixed that then the engine bay caught fire
After a few weeks my brother and i sorted the burnt wiring and got it running again
only for the headgasket to go again but on closer inspection the block had cracked
Sorted another block, rings, bearings etc and got it running again for all of 700 miles when it started to knock
I had put the big ends in round the wrong way
Was lucky the crank polished out and another new set of bearings and it was working again.
Then the alternator bolt snapped,and the bolt was rubbing on the fan belts. Sounded like i had a supercharger
And the latest thing it would not start the other week when i wanted to go out for a play
i just put it back in the garage. Looked at it a few days later to find the earth lead lose, cleaned it and done it up and it started
let it run for a bit then put it away, came out the garage to find a big pool of oil
the turbo oil feed had a hole in it.
If it would of started the day i wanted to use it my engine would of gone bang
So i was very lucky for once this year
Steve.
