<joke anorak question> Can you research improved production methods, and will you see a reduction in shut-lines and panel gaps over time? </anorak>

There is no bonnet. I think that they won't be able to repair their engine.

Only to reveal an opening the size and shape of a postbox slit into the engine. :lol: We had one in for repairs while I was in mechanic school, and it was absolutely dreadful to work on that engine.
