These disasters do happen - a few years back a missing bolt turned up in the V6 Roadster engine smashing two cylinders necessitating a complete re-build.

Of course no one told me there was a two inch bolt missing from the air filter cover!

£9K and 22 weeks later with no insurance interest as it was an avoidable incident - I was back on the road.

Good Luck to Richard.

Cheers
