rite guys, got the car back, and guess wat.... its fooked. fella sed i had no oil (even tho got it changed 3-4 weeks ago) and had melted sum part of the engine. so he told me of 2 options 1- buy a brand spanking new engine but will cost a wedge 2- buy a secod hand engine from any1 who has 1 and will cost me £1000 al 2geva all in. only problem is NO MUNY. mite just sell up so if any1 wants a car with no engine PM me!!! Did you ever notice the temperature being HIGH ? Any pools of oil under the car? Never forget there is always the second opinion.

Right, i am in no way questioning the honesty or integrity of the garage you have been to, I have no reason to. But as its a major job, make sure you get a second opinion on it, incase they are trying to pull a fast one. It is highly unlikely that they are, but its always best to get a second opinion when its something major.
