Smashed my car :-(

[Hibsfan1875]

there is no pics man. the cars fixed but i have a hefty 650 pound bill to pay.

[paddywack]

hefty bill as you say mate but its fixed so thats the main thing, glad to hear its fixed, maybe see you at the march meet... i couldnt make the last one

[Hibsfan1875]

the car isnt running right.
Overheating
eating oil
keeps cutting out

[Cotty]

actually whats weird i wasnt going fast at all, there no damage to the car body except the wheels have been scuffed and pushed in.

both axles are bent, drive shaft burst. gonna cost too much to repair, i just killed an e30

If you were not going quickly, how did you manage to damage both ends.

[magpie]

have you smashed the sump?

any oil leaks,you done a lot more damage than 1st thought it would seem.

how long you had it and was it ok before you went out for a spin?

[Hibsfan1875]

the car was sound before i crashed. Bent both axles cos i went ping ponging across the road and hit both kerbs.

What you done to it now!!!!!!

Well you no whats in my garage thats yours if you've paid for it!!!!!

[HairyScreech]

well an engine is 50% oil cooled, so if your running too low on oil then that may be part of the issue. but its really only once your below the dip stick that its ever an issue.

the cutting out may be related to the over heating.

id say you have damaged the sump as well. which is easy to do when it hangs out the front like they do on these things.

[Hibsfan1875]

The sumps there is no damage to it as far as i can see. the oil leak is comming from below the dipstick.

sanchez i'll be in touch soon about your garage.

Also my air blower fan is making a scrapping noise sounds like a moped...

[HairyScreech]

I have a heater matrix as well. Easier swap when the engine is out, but still needs the dash out.

Renting a space of Neil for a week and doing it in Drem , changing the diff and sorting the suspension as well. Will be cheaper then the £600 you owe your 'mate'.

if its only doing it when the fans on it will be the heater fan not the matrix. far easier job to do and no need to remove the dash

[Topblag]

I've got a full set of IS springs for sale if you need them. They're used so they'll be cheap

[Hibsfan1875]

sanchez what are you suggesting mate? a complete engine rebuild at drem?
do you mean heating matrix that came out that is at upull it?
Colin are you free tommrow at all? i have some WONGA for you

[Topblag]

Looks like we've got an engine swap mission on......

Jason's just called me and the diff is NLA

I assume Ronan's got the clocks from the fragger - he's on hols this week.

Don't know if anyone has the heater fan you need but it may be in Peter's garage ?

I'll talk to Neil about getting some space in Drem - not sure if there'll be any !

Think this may merit a new thread Alec.
