It has a lot of back pressure. Can't be 100% sure why but it seems we need a new engine........I'm not bothered at this point

I didn't get a look at it until late in the day so I couldn't do any in depth diagnosis but at a glance, the were combustion/exhaust gasses coming straight out of the oil cap and back through the breather system and into the air filter housing.

Has to be, at the very best, failed piston rings/ring lands and at worse a piston/cylinder bore issue.

On another note, my mother is one of those Dubs that has a mobile on the beach for the summer weekends, it's been broken into a few times already and was done again this week. Today a Garda Forensic team turned up and found two people in the bed asleep!

Sell it to them. If they buy it tell them you wont press charges. Win?

In other news, I had to drive to Galway today to get a new bootlid because DPD decided to smash the other one sent to me.

Unfortunately the one sent to me was the last one in white with a wiper, so I had to choose between a red one with a wiper or a white one without a wiper.

Also, I got a sneak peak at a new car that might be entering the ITCC very very soon!

Get whatever is cheaper and let the autoglass company fit in into your bootlid. Where's the problem ? There is no issue removing the window from one bootlid and fit it to another.

Clearly you haven't read my post. I said, take the bootlid, that he got from the breaker (which ever of them was cheaper. The one with or without whiper). Let the autoglass company remove it from that, refit it to the bootlid that IS in the car.

Color of the bootlid or the fact if it has whiper or not doesn't mean a thing then anymore.

I've done it. With the M5. Remove rear glass, cut quarter panel out, weld new quarter panel in, paint, refit same rear glass.

I have factory privacy glass in the M5. It's an equal pain and equal costly to get your fingers on.

A1 for service given that it's a busy garage. Lots if vintage and modern cars there too which is always a good sign.

I'm happy that I finally have an answer tbh. It could have been worse and written off in a crash.

It's just a lump of metal at the end of the day...........and I've sold it........

I'd a golf and then a bora in 1999/2000

Can't help but think they've gone down in reliabilty since then, they were right workhorses

It's rare enough that a 1.9 dies like that tbh, and after the work done I'd be chasing the mechanic for answers.

He spent a fortune a couple of months ago on the car:(

Right, it's a nice morning so I am going to get the car washed and replace all the front bulbs with nightbreaker pluses!

Also found original xenons online if I'm not happy with the results! Although I might do without the washers as that would cost a fortune to retrofit.

@vectra

I remember you saying about a grey vrs taxi in Cork. Saw it there, that was for sale not so long ago too. Bad choice for that work tbh...

Well I dunno what it weighs, but I was able to push it with 2 fingers and all that's left is the engine work, suspension and the seat. Cage and seam welding is all in.

The lads said it'll be either a K20 or a B18 with massive internals.

Lol. Never thought of this! Ah well, I've only lost a wiper! Plus the boot I got rid of had fake TypeR badges and a crappy silver Honda badge. This boot has genuine badges and a red honda badge.

Rear screen was going to be 2 and a half months and €1600 :eek:
