In fact, Edd, whatever the problem is it's covered in the Technical FAQ if you're stuck

We do all realize that at some point, both (Mike / Ed) will have thread this thread. Hopefully.
Well if you are, about time you featured our precious creation!

I'm guessing what's wrong with it already....

Ripped hood (at window edge), timing chain slapping the guides and wheels refurb. Possible removal of the bushings to be re-greased. Oh, and if its an earlier s2k, vamp it up with the newer "lights".
If it isn't any one those above, i'll be gob smacked!

What do you reckon - buy for 4k, sell for 7k?
Plus a flaky roocker cover
I think you've both nailed it - that's a whole episode right there

Maybe run some terrorclean through, adjust the valves and replace an aux belt idler bearing if they haven't got enough footage

I'd guess a drivers seat, bolster refurb and rusty rear arches as well if it is an older one. I wonder if they do a headlight 'upgrade' whether it will be those nasty after market halo ones? They may just machine polish them to restore the clarity in the lenses.

We might be surprised and they actually keep it relatively close to stock. The latest episodes have actually done an alright job on some of them.
