Hehe Problems... Mines comming out from Griffin on Sat (hopefully) with the valver lump. Im expecting a few probs but these should only really occur in the first couple of months of driving I imagine. Im carrying round a tow rope under the seat just incase LOL. At the end of the day i'd imagine most probs occur by ill fitting the engine or not checking everything. Soon as mines back im going over it with a FINE tooth comb...

Had ssooo many problems with mine, it hasnt run right since the conversion. Wiring problem meaning the ECU light is on (after replacing the dizzy and knock sensor, which is what the ECU fault said) hoses coming off as i drove away from the garage, another hose coming off an hour later just before getting on the motorway, problems with the exhaust (although to be fair thats cos i havent had a proper one made yet!) gear linkages, gearbox mount snapping, gearbox is now completely knackered and its cost me £200 for a new one fitted (completely empty of oil, not a drop in it, and its not a user serviceable part apparently, its regarded as a sealed unit and a 3 spanner job inthe haynes to top it up, only done about 8k miles in it too!)
