Never broke down before . . . It was an experience

Gives me something to do now the kids are back at school, New Engine Please

Holy f***, let me know what caused this ! This is bad, i feel for you man. Might be a good time to think over a conversion......

s***t!!! my dad told me yesterday sorry i missed your call i thought he was joking. so you gonna rebuild it? or pput all the good parts onto ur white one?

Oh no! Thought it was some cheesy post to do with the Fresh Prince....
Typical - just before Brooklands too! Any idea what she's done? Moody b****

Hi Gary,

Great pictures - shame about the car. As I said on the phone, stick the engine in out of the quick red car. You know that ones ok.

Have a great holiday ( I'm off myself now - to France) and hope you can still make Brooklands.

Don't know yet m8 . . . Not even gona look under the bonet until i come back of my hols

LoL Cheers mate I don't know exactly what the damage is yet.



Hows the milk bottle ? Did the idle valve do the trick ?

Yeah i know mate . . . Don't know what i'm gona do until i get stuck in (after hols) .

Have a good trip

unlucky mate, i would cry if anything happened to mine like that on this long drive down to brooklands. i said 2 years ago that i was going to get timing belt changed on mine before i give it any stick as i didn't know when it was changed last, if ever! still not done it i bought a new timing belt off ebay other week for 99p but got it for the other engine im rebuilding. phoned fiat main dealers 3 times and asked them how much it would be for belt changing, and 3 times they told me they would phone me back after they asked the mechanic if he still had tools for it, still waiting

This reminds me of when my valves hit my pistons on the A64. The tow man said it'll never run again, but it did, and I'm sure yours will too. But its NOT a good feeling when this happens, my sympathies.
