Hi M,

Good to know we have someone of some authority in the UK.

Stripping her down to the waterpump sounds quite involved! Still, I may 
attempt it next year at some point or get my local garage to have a go (by 
"have a go" I mean... get them to do it!).

Yeah the Calibra is stuffed. The bearings on the waterpump seized; the 
cambelt jumped and bent a load of valves. I'm awaiting an estimate on total 
damage and repair. If it's a rebuild then I'll try to get her strengthened 
for more power - around 315BHP should be sufficient.

How is your new purchase coming along?

Well I'm buying a new run around soon now... too expensive to run these 
sports cars daily!
