A nice zed arrived this evening at the workshop via the AA, the sticker on the windscreen illustrates the perils of driving in bad weather, left it unchecked as time was getting on, so will see what tomorrow brings...have a bad feeling though....shame.

Another flooded zed? Seen all the floods in England on the news tonight.

Feel his pain, that was me 4 weeks ago. Sodding thing still ain't running right!

Ooooh - sorry to see that Jeff. My fingers are crossed for the owner...... Do let us know the outcome matey!

News not good, despite the amount of water ingress looking small the engine is siezed tight, bent con rods are the most likely cause of this, awaiting the insurance co. answer now.:sad:

bloody hell .. what speed was he doing wouldnt of thought it would bend rods due to low comp ?

Unless he tried to restart it after it cut out? If it sucked in the water that would bend the rods.

Rods bend like bananas with over a tonne of inertia pushing them from the back wheels.

How many rods in total have you played with Jimmer?? lol

Jimmer did a grand job with my rod. I had a nicely bent one so he pulled it off, the climax of his work still gives me pleasure today.

I had a V6 merc in the workshop the other day that had sucked water in - oil pump had been thrown through the sump pan and was sitting on the subframe & a big hole on either side of the block! Nasty!

Hell - that's gonna cost the unfortunate owner some £££££s!! Take it easy out there with all the excess surface water on the roads guys and gals; we don't want to see this happening to us, do we....
