At least it died with honor for a good cause and not just dragged of and crushed, good luck in the future when you get another one
It was a snapped crank after all. I sold it to Pinewood Studios for use in the latest James Bond film, but that was delayed and it was blown up in the last Fast and Furious instead. The mechanics at the special effects place removed the engine to fit the pyrotechnics and they sent me a pic of the crank snapped in half. If I can find it when I get back home I'll post the pic.
I loved that car, but she broke me. Don't tell the wife, but I'll deffo get another one
Saying that, it was cathartic to watch her get destroyed on an IMAX screen, even if it was only a few seconds on screen at most.
Snapped crank? Thought it was a v8? The BMW one?
Still, went in style. Same thing happened to my mate's Disco and he wanted that sort of ending for his, although the new guy reckons he can fix it.
The M62 is a piece of shít to be totally honest.
Most l322's are on their 2nd engine at 100k
The first one i did had 66k on it!!
It isThat really is ridiculous.
M62SO WHAT YOUR SAYING SAINT IS "IT AINT THAT COMMON"
thing is there are a hell of a lot of people going on about the E62 motor but look at the newer Jag motors and now the big issues are starting to show on them and cranks are on the list.
Twice really.Too late.
It got blown up.
No, she wants a mans car, unlike John.She wants a Jimny goddamit
A new one, with a defender kit not those old narrow ones
The Jimny is a good car as long as it gets a rust prevention treatment from new.She wants a Jimny goddamit

My mate had one. Replaced rear section of chassis as was rotted out, spent lot of money putting off-road kit on it, then sold at a loss. Was fun little thing, capable off-road as they are very light but no good for towing you out if you get stuck with anything heavier than a plastic bag.The Jimny is a good car as long as it gets a rust prevention treatment from new.
I agree with all of that, my mate used to hammer across farm fields in one, he fitted a raised rail with big lights and a standing position for lamping. Totally reliable despite the abuse.My mate had one. Replaced rear section of chassis as was rotted out, spent lot of money putting off-road kit on it, then sold at a loss.

It is obvious when driving they are not a LR, won’t take a clout like a P38
