Click the first link - big end is knocking - sounds like a bag of nails
Doo ! didn't realise there was a vid..sounded like a buzz saw on crack..lot of bottom end failures recently. :scare:
Thats what I thought when Luke brought it round, having just part X'd a working engine for one with a blown bottom end - scary stuff
CHECK YOUR OIL LEVELS EVERYONE!
There's a current thread on "Broken Engines" not a very good advert for our Zeds..!! :scare:
No point in hiding the truth Will, there does seem to a bit of a cavalier or casual attitude by some newer owners with regard to checking oil, allied to that, some of these cars are 10 or 11 years old and previous history can be hard to establish accurately. Add to that "det" problems caused by 95 Ron fuel in DE engines then it's going to happen.
