engine finally went bang at the weekend. :( presume ive thrown a rod as there was bits of block on the floor. havent had time to investigate. after months of knocking. was only 8miles from home which was lucky. completly fooked. oh well. picking up a replacement on sunday from kam. full service history with 65000 miles. been demoted to a 1.1litre ford fiesta festval. k reg. will make me appreciate mine more when its back on the road i suppose. :(
 
Oh shit mate, :(

Must`ve been the `spirited` driving we did to Southend the other week. :O

Glad you`ve got a replacement sorted though.

Don't bother putting a standard one in. Go the extra mile and DET it.

thats the plan for the future :D . would like to do it now but getting the funds together is the hard bit. sticking with the de for now but when i get the cash the det is going in! hopefully later on in the year!
 
think the cause was low oil mate. the oil was low when i bought it. so dont know how long it had been driven round like it. not much service history for my car aswel. did an oil change when i got it and thought it would be alrite. so i presume its the low oil. eventually lead to a ovaled crank. put a new crank in but the damage was done.

on a better note i just picked up a gti engine with 65k on it with full service history for £160 from kam bailey. bargain i thinks :)
 
Billy bargain! Not long till she's back on the roads. At least you will be able to salvage some bits to make the DET swap a bit cheaper.
