    Any timescale for the work to be completed? I always thought it would take a few weeks by the time the ordered engine has arrived, been fitted and then checked

        Do you get additional warranty with the replacement engine?

          It hasnt been confirmed, but with previous experience of working within the parts department of a dealership in the past, I believe that with most items sold or supplied there is a 12 month guarantee!

              Got some bad news yesterday... the service manager phoned me to say things have just got a whole lot more complicated. Apparently "Assessors" have stepped in and are going to do a report on the car because the cost of repair is basically the same as the value of the car. I wont know more until next week, but I am pretty certain a shit storm is about to happen. I await the results... I imagine they will go somewhere along the lines of "Write-Off".

              I am completely gutted it has got to this stage... but I think its time to think logically and letting the car go and walking away with a clean slate.

              Soul Destroyed, I loved this wee car... but it seems its my "Eleanor"

                Aw man that's such a kick in the teeth. You've only had the car 2 months and driven it for 1 month before it died

                Hope you get the best outcome from this.

                  Hope they actually sort it. If not, get a Performance!

                    Glenn - what was the outcome in the end? I hope it wasn't a terminal decision on your Racing.

                      The Finance Company have taken it over, I dont have time to chase them with work, unfortunately I have decided that I had no other logical choice but to hand the car back.

                          Well the day has come and I will hand back the spare key and V5 on Friday. Cant put it into words how I feel, it has been a rollercoaster ride, the car I seen Clarkson drive on Top Gear, the car I said I had to own one day... It was the car I dreamt it would be, beautiful to look at, beautiful interior plus it was an absolute hoot to drive when on song... but with a big achilles heel! Heartbroken...

                          At this moment in time I am not sure what to do... I am picking up a £300 Corsa C on Friday to get from A to B for a while, think I might buy another MX5 and go do Lanes Rallys and Autotests... and make myself happy again pulling big skids!

                            Genuinely gutted for you Glenn. It looked the business, especially when you tidied up the back brake calipers and discs. The alloys were mint too. Such a shame the car you always wanted was such a let down.

                                Sorry for you Glenn These are great cars. I have a Racing myself and I absolutely love it! There are some issues with these engines however which everyone looking into buying a Racing (or THPs in general?) should be aware of. Fingers crossed I won't have to rebuild my engine any time soon but I if I do I will save up to making it stronger and better than from the factory
