Looks like the Cam Chain has snapped to me
Stu was correct :
If I had paid myself the bill was just shy of 8.5k
and it actually broke reversing up the drive

My Polo GTi
Bought it new, was the most reliable car I've owned... if not the fastest
I'm tempted to get another one now I'm older and sensbiler

Loving the Mercs, my old man was looking at getting a CLS. Don't understand the whole golf thing though, no offence to those who own them but I hate the way they look and drive .

I think the best way to describe the German car v Ford RS is to compare them to women :
German : Wife material - What you want to end up with, good at everything - Looks good when out - Doesn’t attract bad attention - Reliable - Other people will admire but respect etc.
RS : The Friday night slag - Loads of fun - Everyone secretly craves one - Can be embarrassing - Every other tosser has had them at least once or will try pinching them of you ...

I was advised not to buy an M3 evo without it, that was one good bit of advice
I was without the car for 5 weeks and managed to put 1100 mile on the coupe they gave me - It only had 900 mile on it to start with
