oh basically it was running on low crappy oil and low water, its partially my fault cos i never checked them all the time, i checked the oil once but from what i could tell it seemed fine on the dipstick. ill either try to hunt down a secondhand engine or try to get a new block and parts and rebuild my engine, eitherway itll be off the road for a while sadly

Get on eBay and buy one of those motors from the wreckers on there - it'll be considerably cheaper than rebuilding yours.

Bad news man!

Rule 1 to all buyers: Service it, doesn't matter if the oil is brand new and you can tell, do it anyway with plugs and both filters haha..

Always have always will..


Hopefully you get it back up and running soon bud!
