Jay762 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 obviously it is better to be there with you but it wasnt knocking as much as I thought it would be, more blowing, are all your pipes connected - you havent got a split somewhere have you - is there blue or white smoke coming out of the exhaust?

odessey Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 No smoke what so ever oil smells fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Yep sounds like big ends. Here you can hear them :( And as for the repair or replace as I said before in the text. But I would say it would need replacing myself from the video but could be wrong, but no smoke should be a good sign :( I would be wanting the guy to sort it I think or money back. I doubt even if you gave it some without it being warmed up it would kill it that quick I came across this too to help you understand what it is better ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Wow I like you, you wasted no time :) is the guy you bought it off sorting it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessey Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Nope he's playing the sold as seen as I thought he would but hey Ho, I' m mad but just want it all working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 What a prick and not even offered some cash back even if it was £100 better then nothing. But I agree would make me mad, but nothing you can do about it other then a small claims and we know how they go could end up costing more :( well least you have parts if needed from the old engine and what you don't use can be resold to get a small amount back I guess :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 And just one more thing :) you said you couldn't view the Parts for sale ?

Gambit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Glad to hear it mate. I can't believe the luck you had with the car. But as I have said before on here at least you now know what the car has had done so it's now personally your's :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessey Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yep your right m8, Just been a tiring day mate1 Oh well on the other side now so in can only get better. I'm hoping to get the new engine in by tomorrow night. Then Saturday will be making sure it's all correct and out for a test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Well unless you need it on the road quick I shouldn't rush it. Even though I know what it's like I want everything done yesterday :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessey Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 No really miffed. Engine all back in and now alarm is going off as soon as I reconnect the Battery. Key fob is locking and unlocking the car but siren is going all the time. Let's me turn the engine over but imob is stopping the spark. Will try and contact Clifford alarms tomorrow but will more than likely have to wait till Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
