Engine failures??
how many you had on your pride and joys! in 10+ yrs I've had 2 in the saff one at 70mph 
the other was down to too much silicone being used to put the sump on and blocking the p/up 
NOT BY ME I MAY ADD 
other than the every day usual parts has been incident free motoring

first engine= bolt sheared on alternator bracket belts came off and went in the cam belt.
second engine= complete 4+4 engine burnt a valve (too much boost)
third engine= rebuilt the 4+4 engine spun the shells after 75 miles (caused by lint off a rag collecting at the pick up pipe strainer)
fourth engine= rebuilt the 4+4 engine again melted three pistons after 1200 miles (caused by a shit greys chip with too much ignition advance)
fifth engine= rebuilt the 4+4 engine again block cracked after 5k miles
sixth engine= rebuilt again using a 205 block no problems at all and used up untill 2 1/2 years ago.
seventh engine= this is my current one.
this is in 11 1/2 years.

Shit Ian 
Some bad luck there chap
This is my second Cossie and I rebuilt the 205 block myself and then got Karl Norris to live map it, well impressed
Luckily I rebuilt it through choice (was a bit tired after 95,000 miles) and not because anything bad happened

Completely mangled my first RST engine.
Snapped a rod in the second one (it was a ZVH)
And most recently melted 2 in the Fiesta after a fuel pump failure
New spec will be decent though
