dam sorry to hear about the engine

it wa a low mileage 1 aswell.

do u no what has caused it to lob 1?

No idea really. Could have been the fact I was lied to and it was a shit engine. it had a small oil leak, but nothing major and I drove it for the month or so i had it and topped it up about three weeks ago, so it can't be the oil really. I really don't know, It just started tapping and got worse and worse, apparently you can fit your hand in the hole.

Probably be selling off the car and all the parts, Don't think I have enough experience to break the engine really.

I'm just well and truly screwed. I have all of about £100, and a credit card which is about £300 in debt (or will be at the end of the month) and a mother which decides she isn't going to help, shes going to scream at me for buying a car thats unreliable and I spent all my money on modifying... Yes, its been unreliable, but modified? i spent £90 on a superchip and K&N, and all the mods are just looks to be honest. so how does that make the car more unreliable?

Stress and worry, this is all that is going to become of this.

If you really want to keep the car and don't want to change the engine then get somebody else to do it.

When my 2.0 blew I paid a local garage £300 and they swapped it and that included swapping everything for the usual 2.0 conversion and the cams.

I would say if you can get a cheap 1.6 (there is a few floating about) then this may not set you back as much as you may think.

Can you not get a bank loan or have enough to buy a new car on your credit card, I bought my car on a credit card at £6.5k.

These things are sent to test us, not trying to turn this conversation in another direction, but on a friday my 2.0 blew and on the saturday my (to be) Saxo was listed on ebay, went and had a look and scraped together every penny I could and bought it for £1400 and picked it up a few days later, it was the best thing I ever did. Not saying that is what you should do, just going for the whole 'every cloud has a silver lining' thing.

Chin up, keep smiling.

ill have the K&N mate give me a pm how much you want for it, thats if your getting rid

£300 is good. I don't think I canter hold of it all thr quick.
I'm 19 I have a credit card with £300 debt and £1500 limit with interest about to start. Bank wont giveme a loan. I'll look about for an engine I guess it's just getting it home then to a grave then garage fees for fitting. It takes like 9 hours at least and most place charge by the hour at about £40-60. It's just not feasable.

Will find out in the next couple days what I'm going to do. Then I'll start flogging the bits off.
