All ready for the road,brakes are bled,wheels on etc

New cam belt fitted,4x4 plenum and 10mm spacer,re-wired fuel pump and rad fans,wired in switch to over ride fans if req.

Should have been on road beginning of this month,but when I put coolant in and started car up all the coolant ended up in the sump
Turns out the turbo core is cracked/split

As soon as turbo is back on the car it will be on the road
once I've cleaned all the coolant out of the oil/engine
