mines the same, few months ago went to overtake a lorry in the wet, stuck me foot down, it kicked down on shot the back end out, the bloke in the audi tt behind me had the shock of his life, an old granada drifting past a lorry. lol. mine had a real bad oil leak on a long journey early this year, when i stopped is was too late. so its never been right since, hence the engine change. rebuilding it would cost a fortune
