the 230 was meant to be reasonably reliable, supposedly the 260 was a step too far.
Only other thing i have heard is that Turbo technics have ceased doing the conversion since the honda/audi turned up

have been reading up on them and i think there was only circa 10 of them done, only available for vhpd engines and included lots of new parts for the engine. Think it cost around £9000 at the time. 0-60 in around 4.3 and 0-100 in 10.5
shame about some of the reliability issues.....

Neil is being subtle.
What he means come and pick up your gearbox from his mum's drive!
BTW, if you don't want it, I will find a good home for it ...

Robin, you can come and pick it up anytime you like, DDTB has paid me for it already.
Its his property and he's left it sitting outside in Bo'ness for anyone to steal

Don't suppose you're around Monday afternoon?? If not, email me your schedule for evenings next week and I'll see if I can slot you in....
Cheers!
