God damn old bill
well at least they didnt book you, i spun out on some deaseil next toa bus stop and bent some bits whilst i was waiting for the rac the old bill came along moan at me i explained what had happened the box had dropped a gear i hit the oil and spun out quicker than quick. to which they replied if you want to contest it you can go to court and issued me a £60 fine and 3 points which have put my insurance up by about 200 a year atm. i pointed out the massive rubber mark where the car had rgained traction and he told me im lucky im not being booked for the other rear tyre because its borderline. common sense didnt tell him they were probally both borderline and taht rubber belonged to that trye. with gauges out of it across the width. not happy. 2 years to go nopw till i have a clean license again :(

no it was a later 2.9 version of the colonge. well if its headgasket you will find that most liklly the oil and water have mixed. try turning the block by hand with the plugs out and listen. you should hear and feel each cylnder, free up and loosen. if thats all smooth id say unlikly internal damage. you can always pop a little stick of some kind down the plug hole see if it comes back covered in oil. obviopusly check the filler cap, for smeg. if youve blown a piston out the block your gonna see it from underneath witha torch should be pretty obvious. if you start it up and makes a bnois what sort of sound does it make? what does the oil pressure do? what is the oil level? i would guess you have probally snapped a rod. or its slipped a tooth on the timing. im sure one of the techies will point you in the right way ... oh well see it as n opertunity whatever the result.
