It's bittersweet but the car has now past it's reserve and will sell. Assuming the buyer turns up etc. this thread is now but a week away from conclusion.

Have you got any pictures?

Having said I wouldn't jump straight back into another RR, a well cared for one could be tempting.

I must have had at least a dozen people ask to buy it outright in the first 12hrs of listing. Seems there is more of a market for these things than I anticipated.

Excellent question. The short answer is, not 100% sure. Think it has dropped a valve.

The longer answer detailing the mechanics work and why it is now going as a non-runner is in this thread:

I've had my RRS L494 really come to the fore in recent weeks. Here are just a few pictures of it in it's natural habitat 😉

Joking aside, lovely car to drive but I'll be taking a break from owner ...

Another vote for Falkens. My car came with them and last year I replaced all four with another set. Price is what you pay, value is what you get. Falkens are great value.

Sadly I can't post to the Forum. I fall shy of the 25 post rule for that sub-forum and I can't stick it on the eBay forum because it is my own product I would be promoting.

There is a very similar ...

Got the car back. Definitely not the injector. I spoke to the guy returning the car on his flat bed and they sprayed the injectors while he was there to check for leaks.

Seems the noise is in the ...

Those diagrams are very helpful.

I don't think the cam lobes ever came off which if I am reading it correctly, means they didn't get beyond removing the inlet manifold. Lots of other bits came off ...

Yes, valve. They did say that but I then doubted myself and edited the post from valve to cylinder.

They haven't made me an offer for the car. I asked if they would sell as a non-runner for commis ...

Feedback from the garage is that it has dropped a cylinder. Says the noise is from within the engine.

I think that is the end of the road and I'll try and sell it as a non-runner. I've just put ne ...

When I pulled over to inspect the car I took the engine cover off and there was small but noticeable smoke coming from the vicinity of the oil cap. Engine was hot at that point having been run for an ...

I am not overly mechanically minded so even if I did get a report it would be easy to fob me off.

This is what it now does.

I decided that I wasn't comfortable shifting on a car that may have significant issues. I therefore decided I'd live with it for a while to see if it gets a clean bill of health. Well, one week and 15 ...
