Yer she drove it home like that :eek: it was hard to find the leak its right down the back of the engine
I had to remove the inlet & all the gubbins & clean everything still couldnt see it even though it was
pizzin oot :confused: I had to lay underneath & get the misses to start/stop it, I put my hand up & me finger
found the hole. Not sure what went wrong yet I will strip it to find out tho.
Very mysterious.
Almost sounds not too serious.
but it can't be can it?
 
Got to be the rod end hitting the casing as it just above the lower casing where the sump meets.
Unless there is something in the sump ?? rod bolt timing chain guide feck knows.
If it wasn't your own car, it'd be fascinating, but as you paid for the feckin thing, it's infuriatin.
All my sympathies mate. :(:(:(
And when I see the bloke down Wimborne, I'll chase him down the by pass and shove him into the middle of Hamburger roundabout, let him become the meat between two artics!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Yes I once looked at temporary insurance. wot a feckin rip off. They wanted nearly as much as for a full year. :eek:
You really are very philosophical about all this. Some i know would have gone bonkers chasing the seller down etc.
Thought of you as I was sitting there revving the nuts off the V8!:D:D:D:D

Ohhh the v8 :cool::cool: If I didnt have the skills or funds to repair it be right fecked off, quite looking
forward to pulling it to bits then making it better/faster more reliable I hope to up the power by
nearly 100bhp & the torque up to 350 lb ft. Should be a hoot to drive. :D
