ZippyZafira Look what just come in. Running fine just was going to do chain upgrades Not touching it now... feel sorry for owners as they just brought it from a yard
patricks Maybe previous owners were running REALLY thick oil to disguise other engine issues as well..........
ZippyZafira There is no bringing this back. Previous owners have cooked it to buggery before trading it in. There is water in the oil also... ouch
ZippyZafira This is one that come in this afternoon. 295,000k and serviced every 10,000 Just goes to show k's or miles mean nothing it all comes down to the owners
patricks Yep definitely. Looks like there's lots of clean oil there lubricating the head too 🙂 Modern group 4/5 synthetic oils mean an engine can do 500,000Km plus without an overhaul. Off topic but i kinda resent Elon Musk. He is taking all the fun out of cars - we will all be driving boring, sterile, electric cars before long🙁
Dave_Gilbert I did a corsa very similar. i was getting paid regardless so did the chain jaob but recommended a engine flush n it moved something n then made the hyraulic lifters tap so still sounded horrible but the chain sounded fine 🙂
ZippyZafira You put any kind of flush in this car it will kill it quick. That hard crystallized soot will block all oil ways
