The big ends have been making a quiet noise for the last couple of weeks, and the oil pressure has dropped slightly from normal (was about 4.5 bar on startup when cold rather than 6).

Anyway i've taken it steady to try and prolong it, but driving back from my mates today the oil pressure went about 100yds from my house and it had no power, so i coasted it into the drive.

I'll have a good look tomorrow and do a compression check etc but I think the motors ****ed. Done 98000 miles though, but i'm too skint to fix it :-(. Looks like all my birthday money going on a new engine.

See ya

How much for the 2 litre? I can get a Megane engine for about £350 so I was gonna do that.

I think the oil pump might have failed, as there was a groaning noise when I turned but the power steering was fine. The oil pressure went down really steadily aswell it didn't just drop straight away.

See ya
