The end for my Clio?

[J o n]

well oil pump has pretty much certainly failed I'm told and more than likely destroyed or at least severely damaged my bottom end. I need somewhere to inspect it so I know how and why it died as my car is only on 75k... it's prolly just one of those things coupled with my catastrophic bad luck but I need to get it checked out either way. Anyone know anywhere that can check it out... once again I'm assuming this will be majorly expensive, so if it is the worse case scenario I'll break it for parts if anyone's interested. Pretty much everything in the car is new... gutted.

Shit dude sorry to hear that

me too m8, had it with this car now, every time I start to enjoy it something goes seriously wrong... I cant understand it either, I let the thing warm up, I drive it sensibly most of the time and every now and again open her up if there's something that wants a blast. It's regularly serviced too and low miles... so I really cant understand how this has happened

Oh well **** it, I'm not throwing good money after bad at this car, already spent over 10k, so it's getting beyond a joke now as this is most likely serious £££ yet again... so you may be able to get some cams for your car afterall Rob...

Hard lines mate, maybe the cars just a bad un? Hope you can get it sorted though mate.

sorry to hear about that Jon, lets hope it doesn't cost too much and you get it all sorted......could it have anything to do with the car not being able to cope with the cams?

As it just seems to go from bad to worse when you put these in, martins old one, now yours.....however on the other side you get examples like Jon's, martins new one and adi's old!!!!

So is it worth the risk?

[J o n]

god knows m8, i've no idea what to think anymore, i'm just soo gutted this has happened... it's the last thing I expected really m8. the bottom line is it's getting fixed and sold if it's the bottom end that's gone.

well as i said the oil pump is about £140,.. labour would be free if me john or winston mess... an easier option would be to buy a bottom end from a megane.. then get the head rebuilt by the company i know that specialise in cylinder heads(£90)

a megane botom end would cost a couple of hundred £... i know where there is a 36k one...
thats an option.
it'd be a quick swap over, about a days work, if no cylinder head rebuild needed (i'd get it done at that prce and considering the prob)

Really sorry to hear this news Mate, chin up gutted for you :(

[Irish Nut]

Shit Jon, really gutted for you mate, you have not had much luck with her....i hope you can get it sorted and it ain't cost to much.

I can recommend Riverside if you need diagnostics carried out to source why it failed.

Hope you get it sorted soon mate.
