Car has been running sweet as a nut and was driving down the A4 today and started putting my foot down was in 3rd and was hitting about 4-5k revs and suddenly it felt and sounded like the car hadd jumped out of gear and the engine had died and ign lights came on

Coasted to a layby and tried to start it and nothing - it was as if the batt was flat

Luckily i had a couple of mates in the car and we oushed it back and then tried to push start it but then when it tried to turn over the rear wheels would lock up

Ended up having to wait for my mate to get a lift back to his house and get his motor and then tow me to my mates garage, who then quickly looked at it and says "without further investigation i would it seems like your engine has seized!"


What a coooont and i just put 48 quid in juice as well

 

Doh, hope its easily sorted bud

 

Not the 3dr

 

Wounder mate
Got a cheap short engine here if your interested

 

not the 3dr man

 

hope its not that bad.


thought you was selling the car.

Dave.

 

now before everyone starts asking questions....................



























































its the GHIA












but that still dont make it alright as i now had to drive the 3dr just now but was too fookin scared to put my foot down as i dont want to hold a world record of destroying 2 engines in one day

 

you had us going for a min there glad it werent the 3dr

 

you coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon t

 

Ryan - i bet you had the spanners ready

 

Still a wounder.

Still costs money to fix,just not as much as the cossie.



Dave.

 

My offer is still open as it would make a nice mod for the ghia

 

yeah could have used a few thing on my 3dr

 

Fookin cooont i thouht you was on about the cos then

Still not good news thou mate

 

i know you could have ryan - thats why i write the desc like that - get u all excited then right at the climax let u down























mind u i think i let it all out a bit too early tho

 

spadge - hhhmm tell me more mate - pm me how cheap is cheap and is there any other bits i may need as i want this car to be as cheap as possible - the fooking thing was my old man's 1 owner from new, genuine 97k on the clock, nothing has EVER gone wrong with the car before. And i put a new centre section zorst 4 days ago which cost me over 100 quid

 

I was kidding mate as it won't be cheap enough for that old shed lol

 

its got cossie side skirts, rear spoiler and sterring wheel - mustve doubled the value
also got a cossie front bumper sitting in my dirve for it and tinted windows off a amtes car

 

can u get me an engine for this spadge 2.0i DOHC

or will any newer or better turdo diesels fit in there

 

Sounds like you doubled the value of it putting the zorst on mate
Mind you it was a runner then

 

Those engines are shite mate
Can probably get you a whole car with a good one in it though for around 100-200 quid

 

yeah true mate - im lookin on ebay now.

fookin engines are wank - dont like to be revved at all - obviously

 

just a 4x4 2.0i - will that fit as my saff is 2wd

 

cooooooooooooooooooooooont

 

 

W@nker

 

Damn! Y couldnt it of been the 3dr! had my sales pitvch for my enigne all lined up!

 

bastard

 

 

thats what i said to the car when it blew

 

You can use it as a boat anchor now

 

Rans m8 you may aswell sell me the 3dr cos, before the engine decides to to give up. You know you want to

 

tabz - i was up in tamworth today in 3dr there and back on 3/4 of a tank

 

Gutted for you mate

 

The sumps are different mate.

I got an engine for 125 quid a while ago
