I have just completed a thousand miles of successful driving in my xe.
After the gearbox breaking and taking the oil pump, then I managed to bend valves, eventually with a lot of learning and patience, got it to going again. After 100 miles the replacement gearbox bearing decided to break up so it was gearbox off and so on again!
I very nearly gave up and it did take me more than three months to do it all, it was anything buit straightforward for me, but after losing the will and leaving the thread, jim bob mcgrew and vx kev kept encouraging me and advising me and I have to say honestly I would have dumped the car without this encouragement so, Thank you very much.
I am very pleased and assume that after 1000 miles of driving and a succesful check of ll fluids, it should be fine. (yes I have redlined it too just to check lol)
