Help! Awful engine noise, non driveable 182

[Rob22]

Came with MOST history and apparently one of the previous owners used to do most stuff himself which could be the problem..

Pretty sure they didn't change the oil, I didn't ask them to anyway! Still a bit baffled where 4 litres have gone in no more than 4 months but hey done now!

Dave - Yup that's me! Just been texting him so should hopefully have something sorted soon, i'm sure he'll let you know any plans.

​Cheers for the help!

Car is now working and back on the road!

We started:

The driveway at the end of the first stint:

Old engine out:

Swapped the aux setup from old to new, change the aux belt kit also.

New engine going in:

And voila.

So sweet a noise when they start first turn of the key!

Nothing odd upon draining the oil, so will have to take the sump/head off when I'm back from Le Mans and have a look as to what failed.
