Oil warning light never came on though :/ from when it started knocking it was run for about I don't know 10secs, was dead quiet then got suddenly loud, killed it soon as it got loud. Think the damage has been done tho. Might have to get...

DDC in Doncaster or RS Tuning in Leeds if you wanna stay local. Diamond Motors in Nottingham if you wanna go further afield.
Price wise, no idea, give them a call.

Cheers for ringing me yesterday Mick, probably gonna be the new year till its ready for a new engine I've gotta move house in December so I'[ll keep it at my dads under cover till then then get it down to you. Gonna be my best course of action I think. Give you a bell soon about it buddy.
Thinking about it probably did grab 2nd, my linkage does have some play in it which would explain the revs, crank pulley turned, timing out, big mess etc.

Timing belt jumped last night. As a result I'm gonna buy another saxo (my 4th ha) to get me going then decide what to do with the clio once i get it towed round my dads tomorrow. s**t happens.
I don't THINK it's the belt only been on 18 months and there were no noises from the bay, sounded normal when coming down thru the gears too till we hit a complete stop and it cut out, beginning to suspect fuel pump after a think
Just broken down, took it up to about 70 in 3rd went to grab 4th and lost all power. Still turns over on starter motor but don't think it's sparking can anyone help me out with some ideas?
