Congratulations for this nice purchase!
Do you intend to use this 24v engine and gearbox for your current build?

Hi Guy..... It may also be worth dropping the water pump off to be clear in your own mind that it is the metal impeller version..... It will only cost a gasket and a little bit of time.
I was amazed at the condition of the plastic impeller on Nellies engine..... It was just totally f&&ked !
Plan is to run it up to Autolusso in Penrith at the earliest opportunity for a cam belt, idler and water pump service and will get the oil done at the same time. The current build is staying 12v but I'm considering this for my own car once the second car has been finished and sold. In the meantime I'll use it to stop me running the miles up on the 159 Q4. It's just had it's coolant drained and replaced with fresh so it should be good for winter. Injection light went out of it's own accord but something isn't right if it comes on.... Probably a MAF? Tried connecting an OBDII reader to it but it couldn't connect for some reason.

Sounds like a nice plan Guy!!
It's a pity I'll have no time enough during my trip in England next week end to visit you and see all of these!

Indeed Frederic, paths will cross sometime I'm sure but I'm away next weekend anyway!
I'm sure we'll meet again with our cars another time ...Stoneleigh or Silverstone maybe!
Perhaps your build will be completed at our next meeting
If you can't get your radio working I have the radio / sat nav unit out of my donor car together with the code. Was working fine before I stripped the car.
