:'( - David - 18-02-2013
So bad news once again
my car has just decided it no long wants to have a con rod in the engine and it has punched a missive hole in the front of the engine. I'm sorry upset right now I think I could cry :'( and the worst thing is I only got the car back on the road last night!

Dunno if it's time for a new car though
RE: :'( - Ben - 18-02-2013
I've got an engine sitting in my garage if you don't end up using Sams.
RE: :'( - Luhoer - 18-02-2013
Oh that sucks..
Good to hear you got another engine sorted
RE: :'( - ozonehostile - 18-02-2013
How did that happen dude?
RE: :'( - David - 18-02-2013
Yours is the wrong ones though mate but thanks anyway buddy.
Me and Sam was on the way to ace on the a303 doing 80mph, at 4psi and under 3k revs then it just went bang!

RE: :'( - David - 18-02-2013
Just had alook and its got a big hole in the sump and a very big hole in the block
RE: :'( - bigcheez2k3 - 18-02-2013
Pics? Is a bad situation but always good to see pics of the damage.
Think it could be related to the way it was performing on the Dyno?
Now I'm more scared of mine doing it too.
RE: :'( - sam - 18-02-2013

Haha true lol. I'm really hoping its back on the road by Friday.
RE: :'( - ozonehostile - 18-02-2013
defiantly don't lose the love, with sams engine you owe it to see it to at least 200k
RE: :'( - David - 18-02-2013
Well my "old" engine only had 150337 miles on it
RE: :'( - Ben - 18-02-2013
Don't suppose you know which rod gave up? I read somewhere that apparently the third one is normally the one to go, just wondering if thats the case?
RE: :'( - David - 18-02-2013
Don't know which one mate but the big hole is behind the oil filter housing and slightly to the left of it if its any help?

RE: :'( - the milkman - 19-02-2013
If we start collecting all these rods that are being chucked and weigh them in we can buy a gold plated. 306 we would be that rich!! Matt and david can donate first
RE: :'( - David - 19-02-2013
Haha sounds like a good idea or just buy something none French?

Because it's clearly the car's fault....
There's a stock XUD9TE on something like 979,000 miles. They're bombproof until you chuck a lot of boost at them.
RE: :'( - Toms306 - 19-02-2013
Oh dear David, not good!

Yes, just one. That doesn't mean every other one in the world would be capable of reaching milage like that.
RE: :'( - David - 19-02-2013
I still blame the frog leg eating French ha.
Never mind though thanks to Chris and Sam who will be fitting my new engine for me over the next week while I have to work!
I understand what your saying about the boost but no word of a lie I hardly ever take it over 20-25psi!
RE: :'( - Jonny81191 - 19-02-2013
I was just using it as an example Tom, I'm sure there are others.
