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!

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.

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?

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

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.

Yes, just one. That doesn't mean every other one in the world would be capable of reaching milage like that.

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!
