Engine is dead :(



  Lunar Mk1 & Flamer
Ok this eveniing i made my way to kent and on the way there i got 30 miles had to sow from 60 to 40 for a village, then on my way out of the village i had an idiot up my arse. so i thought goes into national now so i'll put it in 3rd and floor it.............and i did and it was like i'd put it in 5th didnt pullaway didnt want to know me.

so pulled over at next layby and stopped and as i did the engine dropped to 500rpm then struggled to idle then died. then when i restarted it again the noise from the engine was like sobody had poured a bag of spanners into it, chattered,clicked tappety, then when i gave it some juice p to 3k some smoke came from the drivers side of the engine (couldnt see colour as it was dark) at this point i killed the ignition and waited for recovery, just got in pissed and now it wont start at all. :(

suggestions?

right just explained whole situation to David at Ktec and he is pretty sure it sounds like th timing belt has slipped :(

I cant even be towed to the place as the previous owner has removed the towing eye!

How much is a new engine/ willy engine?

I think Midge has a couple of valver engines sitting around he wants to get rid of? Send him a PM and see if he has any!
