I think today when comming home from work one of the big end bearings finnally killed itself with a splurt cough and bangbangbangbangbangbang ect for the last half a mile... so anyhow. Any ideas on the price to fix at a local garage (friend of my dads) ? components shouldnt be more than £100 but how long should it take to do??

Many thanks, sam

My Car didnt work... still

Well as many of you probably don't know/care, i blew the bottom end of my golf about 2 months ago and ITS STILL NOT SORTED! but is getting there. Basically engineering firms in Lincolnshire translates to 'farmers with 3 or more O levels' and have been fcucking about for 4 weeks!! Took 3 weeks for a re-grind crank and bearings and shells made up and now, been the observent farmers engineers that they are they didnt check the conrod length!? so my lower compression rod has now been sent back to have a little billet n fillet to drop the piston 2mm and its now been 5 days.... great!

Cant wait to get her back though! Gonna be sweeeeeeeeeeet. But 1000 miles of 'carefull' driving is needed to settle in the bearings (boohoo!)

Thanks for the time, sam

And here are some pictures of an engine, thought i should really seen as it is a project thread

BOOM! Got her back!!!!


Right, 3 Months later and shes back.... f**k YOU ENGINEERS, f**k YOU!! But the engine feels and sounds awsome, idle has been set at an all time low (sounds like its about to stall but doesnt, just sounds good giving a judjudjudjudjud) and revs smooth throught all gears, now time for new tyres, push rod end and gearbox reverse sensor!


Now 800 miles of cool runnings before i can let loose!!

Nice to see a local car. Not many blown mk 2's around either.

Who did the machine work for the rebuild? I've used humberside engines a few times. Top job and a fast turnaround

I used some sh!t cnuts called stanford engineering? or stamford? But everyone i spoke to said that they were brill so i feel bad giving them bad rep but i know i wont be going back. Humberside engines it is from now on then mate!
