Hi DAF
There's not really much to tell, this is a car I bought in Berlin a few years ago, the engine went off to a specialist called Modus who suddenly found they needed to move premises after 20 odd years with very short notice so nothing got done for a long time and I saw the engine for the first time this week for well over a year. Meanwhile, uninstructed, Modus got on with the work so I'm now in by 200 hours!!...too late to stop! Rock and hard place, I've told Modus to stop at the moment while I hunt for parts and try and resolve the situation we're in, Modus have no direct contract with me so potentially I could abandon the engine but I really would rather complete it. My big concern is that after all the cost and effort, I could still have a problem engine. What's your experience ? Cheers Simon

Thanks Jim, that was a very useful link that I'll pass on to my engineer, quite dramatic at the end though!

Hi All
Many thanks for all of your replies, please ignore what I wrote in my earlier enquiry about age related registrations. I saw the engine for the first time in over a year yesterday and can confirm that the stamped engine number is A500227, I have attached a photo and will follow with further photos. The cylinders are 3.25" with a 5 inch stroke. Cheers Simon
