coming back from whitley bay, i proceded to boot the car up the what we call the coast road, it's a main road that leads from whitley bay to newcastle center, i got half way up and slowed down to a respectible 60 mph, went to overtake a car infront, in 5th i put my foot down a bit, nothing there, huh i thought, pulled back in to lane, diped the clutch and tryed to rev the engine, it slowley reved up, and then the revs just droped, like a bag of sand, and then it cut out, oh fek!! on with the hazzerds and kept trying to key it over, only to be met with some sort of screeeeching sound coming from under the bonnet...??? so i finaly stoped rolling pulled right up on the grass verge, poped the bonnet, and nothing seemed to be a miss, feking weird i was thinking, so again with the key screeeeeeech, screeeech, squeeeeeel from INSIDE the engine 8O so now iv got that sinking feeling, well not sinking more of I AM SO PISSED OFF NOW, this fukin car has been off the road more times than its been on the road! so im in two minds to whether let it sit on the drive till after christmas, or break the thing as i have had enough of the pice of shit now, this is the only car that i have ever owned that has broken down as much as it has, and iv had a hell of a lot of cars, so watch out there might be a long list of parts for sale soon :x

right i'v had time to calm down and have a good think about it, and iv came to the conclusion im not going to be defeted by a lump of metal!!!! so im just simply going to replace the engine,
spending X...amount on parts is all well and good, when it could easly go to purchase a good engine,
me and my mate have sort of narrowed it down to being the ring's being well fooked and poss gouging in to one/two of the chambers,( due to being well low on compretion) and that's where the stupidly loud noise is coming from,
so if anybody comes across a good reliable engine, give me a shout please
