to all the internet mechanics who question capability but have nothing useful to add themselves ,no im not a mechanic and have nothing to do with the motor trade, where did i ever say i was?. when i say garage i mean the one i park my car in, and the reason he was bringing it to me is to see if i had any idea why it wasn,t running right as he knows i have a cosworth myself.
the problem seemed fairly minor until the point we found no oil.
have ye ever brought a car to a mate that might know a bit more than you to have a look at a problem?
i never realised you had to have such quailifications to take an engine out of a car to help a fella and ask a question!


dom123 yes we repaired the hole and put it running with oil but it would hardly run at all and after cutting out a few times failed to start any more.
then we came to the inevitable conclusion that its fucked.
