That's interesting, I'm sure I was told it was a new head required. Clearly not, based on the responses above! Lol!
I've edited the ones above in case someone finds the thread in future....
It is going to get quite expensive, because when you resealed it, you'll need to redo the cambelt and aux belt. Its circa £300 or so just for all the bits needed for the cambelt / aux belt change iirc. Let alone the labour and the retiming.

PM a mod (green names) or admin (orange names) if you need pointers on where to put something or any help.
What are the plans for the ph1? Daily, fun or track?

I know bud, I know. I think it may well be a V70R. Showed it to the Mrs and she liked. We talked about it and came to the conclusion she would still prefer to drive the Micra irrelevant of what I bought, so size is no longer an issue :)
Postponed...
Sounds like the noise mine made when my diff went, prior to LSD'ing it.
If it is the LSD it's massively bad form. Hope you get some kind of recompense for the trouble.
Mmm. Who needs a diesel anyway? I'm tempted to give the finger to being sensible.
