How much would you say a good price for second hand Recaros, v.good condition on a car done 15k. Cheers!

LOL thanks for all the suggestions. Its actually another car based in Glasgow that I want the engine from. Its an insurance write of but the engine is sound and has only done 7000miles. Problem is, is that I live in the South West and would have to drive up there with a trailer, pick the car up...

Need to get an undrivable Clio from Glasgow to Devon. I am considering doing it myself by getting a trailer etc. Any other, as cheap as possible ways?

PMSL. Bloody brilliant, the look of that kids face. Must be an awe inspiring sight!

Yes, specialist with all those mentalists out there!

The badges explain what lump you have in the front, stick to the 1.6 16v mate, maybe spray them silver. Mucho respecto!

Yes mate.

Well someone mentioned that, it doesn't make any sense! Someone suggested an oil filter blockage?

Not yet, I'm getting my car taken to Carlton garages and they'll properly check the car out. The chap who had a look at it is knowlegable guy and trust worthy but I don't think he was fully qualified in this area. I definitely don't have the oil like in those pictures, its almost like a...

Thanks mate, much appreciate the help.

Hello mate, you saw my other post about the engine tapping. Not sure if you knew but my engine is dead due to lack of oil, would you say this is linked to the condition of my plugs?

Do my sparkplugs look ok to you, justed wanted your thoughts:

What's it for?

No worries mate, I'm a little crazy at the mo so forgive anything I say. lol 68,000. It is absolutely catagorically not leaking. Its very disconcerting to hear garage say the only option is a new engine. I defintely can't afford one so it would have to be second hand but that will still cost...

Ok mate, much appreciated. Surely the garage should be able to tell me this? But I'll do it either way.

^^ Exactly mate. My never eats oil it just goes on and on, I check regulary and it was pretty much always the same, then bang it takes what 2-3weeks to use up. Doesn't even make any sense!?

Engine is shot...wtf. Don't know what to think right now. How did all the oil get burned so quickly that can't be right surely, anyone have any ideas? I am just bewildered at the moment.

Sure, can't give an exact but a few good miles. Bascially they will fix whatever needs fixing and get it hopefully back to where it was and also identify why it burned the oil so easily. But he did say worst case senario is a new engine, I don't think he wanted me to raise my hopes at all.

At the garage I'm afraid but I know the manager so he wouldn't be feeding me bullsh*t.

Thanks Andy, will do.

I know mate!! Besides I think I only just checked it within a few weeks. I suppose I just assumed that oil wouldn't have been the issue. Yeh the oil meter nor the oil pressure didn't come up. Also where the hell did the oil go there was defintely nothing on my drive? It's with the garage at...

Holy s**t, got a phone call. No f'in oil!! How on hell did that happen, I bloody check it via the dipstick often enough and nothing came up on the dash!!?? This is not good.

Thanks for that matey. Car is being towed in today, don't know why I'm so nervous! lol

Thanks mate, at a guess how much do you think it might cost? Or is it dependant on however much damage has been caused?

Guy came, didn't have a clue but advised what everyone here said, do not drive and get it towed to the garage. His exact words were, "it sounds terminal". Thanks for everyone's advise.

Great, so can't afford it right now!

Yes spot on, the guy is going to have to start for a few seconds to listen. The car is not going anywhere though! Typically yesturday I said how well it was going! Thanks guys.

Thanks buddy, got the AA to take a look. Is the CAM due at 72,000?

Thanks mate, that was the problem you had, £950 was it?

lFEzvqu8_sg Doesn't sound good, any ideas?
