Don't leave it too long, if it goes all together it'll take the engine with it

Carla, don't go off Stuart's website! It is usually out of touch with what he has got. Give him a ring and speak to him personally. He may be able to fit it as well.

Hi Carla,

Followed you through town this morning Could not see any smoke from your exhaust, let alone blue clouds...assume you were changing up at 1,000rpm just in case
