wacomuk Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 something hit the sump last night and put a big hole in it engine now dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickieB Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Which way are the outsides of the hole going? ie was it something from outside the sump going in, or something from the inside (engine bit) going out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacomuk Posted April 22, 2005 Author Share Posted April 22, 2005 going in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRST Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thats s**t news. Is it definately dead? If you switched off sharpish then should be ok and you'll just need sump repaired. Or did u keep on driving it and not realise lack of oil pressure until it was too late? Sorry to hear your bad luck so soon after getting it. steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
