to be truthful I havent pulled it out to look properly, but smoke is bellowing out the exhaust and there's a lot of play in it. was thinking a new one would be the easiest and quickest option ?

the journals/bearings for the ht10 are cheap eh (if they would fit) but depends on the amount of wear on the shaft i guess eh :)

ooh okay, Im gunna have to do my homework :)
seems like they are rare as rocking horse poo and fetch crazy money eh jakob, i think i would put the busted one in a box for safe keeping, and fit the far more common vw/peugeot/etc GT1549 and enjoy the car
