wasnt cossvaux it was griffin motorsport wasnt it
the rad needs spacing as the turbo intrudes to much, hence it needs moving back under the slam panel

Must admit I thought the mounts felt a little sloppy on the old XE but local garages assured me it was normal for a 'bit' of play .
Cossvaux Hubs, think PVD shafts, no idea 'vitalite' mounts and a Pre 93 lump converted to dispac... No idea what the loom was off, but hey it all worked and worked darn well when I had it (after the 3 month teething probs).

sorted the clutch for him. old rad is out and new mounting holes drilled. ready for new rad to come to me to be fitted. gna take rear mount of tonihgt and fit spacers in the back like it should have and extend the linkage etc. then c if i can modify his mounts for him to keep the price down instead of buying a new set

Tim, the guy who fitted the turbo engine didnt bodge it, fair enough he mounted the rad incorrectly but thats far from a bodge.

All fairness he didn't bodge it, as willay said the red should have been moved forward, but if i would have known about the mounts i would have had them repaired or changed !

I'm just sure if you knew the guy you'd be aware of how good his work normally is. but nobody is perfect I guess and everyone is prone to fuckups!

lee is resolving the mount issue, best for him to do so seeing as lee fabricates some top notch mounts (i've got some).
the gears were abit odd, that was down to the mounts i think?
clutch cable needed adjusting - not the hardest thing to do.
