Broken piston ring ? Wasn’t an uncommon issue on some of the big commercial diesels I used to work on.

Still in pieces....although I have put the heads back on.....
It is taking a while, as it is:
The joys - can't wait til next Friday and I can get the coil pack and leads - then I will with luck whizz the rest of it back together!
It is taking a while, as it is:
- At work
- Only able to do about 30mins a day
- Funds low due to baby and daughter starting school.
- No point putting intake manifold on until payday as I need to get a new coil pack - and it is easier to fit with manifold off
- Exhaust downpipe has a snapped stud that I need to drill out!
- The little BMW is cheaper to run around in at the moment!

This is going to have to pick up the pace.......
I have been given a notice from the Head of Site at work that I need to move my car or they will move it for me and charge for movement and storage - which is fair enough it has been there and not moved since June....
Watch this space - I just need to get it to a state of starting and moving, so the LPG connections may need to wait, just get it running on petrol and get it shifted!

Or transfer neutral and just tow it. I'm guessing it hasn't got far to go?
