ok im still searching the forum trying to find ways around my problem, ive been offered a superchip for my ecu and have been told this will fix my problem, does anyone know the truth in this??

Would me changing the chip fix my problem??

Likely to be an utter waste of time.

Get another unfried ECU and get it in there.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

99% of digi2 ecus are the same, just ones from models with cat that differ, and that is a rarity

Well ecu arived today, Thanks haskana!, and all is not well, flushed the oil through twice and fitted a new oil filter to clear the fuel out the sump, Started her up and she's knocking her t*ts off.

I'm suspecting a couple of conrods are snapped as there is total loss of compression and then its back again but its definatley fubar'd.
I'm collecting a new engine tomorrow which has 90k on it with SH to back up, Front end is stripped and ready forit to go in,

I always learn the hard way!! Pretty gutted that all this is from trying to cure 2nd gear runch and its ended up costing over 400 quid all in! not including the new re-con box.

You sure the engine is knackered? Might just be the hydraulic lifters not pressurised, they can take a while and they knock like hell when they're empty. Can't see why you would break the con rods, that takes some doing. If rods were broken it would sound like a cement mixer full of spanners and the compression wouldn't come & go. You would get reduced performance on some cylinders if the valves weren't lifting properly. It can take a while for the oil to get around the lifters...... :undecided:

Definaley bottom end mate,lifter filled and quietened down pretty quick, rev it to about 3k and it knocks hard, cant determine where its coming from as it sound like something is being thrown around, it cuts out then if you try to start there is no compression, leave it 5 mins and it will start again, on to 3 then 2 cylinders.

Im sure its dead.

I cannot see why leaving it 5mins would restore compression, if it is knocking hard at 3k then that sounds bottom end related.
