sorry to hear that mate!

as everyone else has already said, i'd say it would be a waste to stop now, as you've spent so much time and money on her already.

Ash, I know the feeling if not wanting to keep throwing money at it, but you have come sooo far. I remeber when I first joined this forum with my MK4 you had just started out, its an amazing story what you have done with the 1.4. Dont give up mate.

couldnt you turn the engine over with a socket and bar on the crankshaft pully see if the conrods are bent cos if it doesnt turn you know, but if it does saves you stripping bottom end down

I just thought of that and I did do it yesterday to get it back to Top Dead Centre so that means rods cant be bent, will still need to check it out though
