ohh and the other bit of bad new is that , went to a place called motormania too get some tools , got quoted £103 for headset and headbolts thought great although they cant do the valves, but gsf want 130 for the lot. got the tools home thought right started to take the head off un-did the outside ones fine but 4 bolts in the middle have now rounded off. my idea to weld a nut /socket to the bolt might work. has any1 else got any ideas ?
 
  secret
Thats w**k mate, u can get sockets that remove rounded bolts but duno if u can use them on headbolts :(

our specs are nearly identical other than the engine! :)

only differences is

Gaz coilovers,
Carbone Lorraines
and gen rear discs and pads!

seems like a good set up!! but unfort engine work is slightly out of my budget atm, im just going to take it out and give it a good service and a lick of paint!!
