Yesterday my engine started to rattle and think it's bottom end related ok on idle but anything more it rattles like a diesel but worse, the oil brether pipe was blocked up and causing oil to come from the dipstick tube and filler cap, so just to check with people in the know, it's Fu*ked yea? Because if it is I'm just going to sell it as is, I have too much on at the moment to swap it all over, thanks

If its coming from the bottom end, then sadly I suspect it will be terminal and will require a rebuild....are you sure its deffo from the bottom end??  Stan. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
