My concern there would be it has had the guts kicked out of it already. So if anything I would rather go with a proper re-built one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus will have it back by Tuesday or so. I am hoping that after all this there MIGHT be a bit more performance out of it. I am sure you lot are better judge than I at making that call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sure to post an update once I get her back and take her for a drive. Cheers to everyone that has replied to this by the way. Has been helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
