Bosses X Type - engine screwed
« on: 16 June 2008, 20:08:04 »
Making a ticking noise - took it to the local mechanic - small end gone.

It would cost too much (engine out) so he is going to trade it in.

He was chatting on the phone to a potential client today - "You should get an Omega!"

I told him that that would be your advice. He wasn't too impressed when I suggested that his 3.0l Jag was a Ford Mondeo.  ;D ;D ;D

Pity you cant drop a decent motor into it, like a 3.0 Miggy.

One of them started to keep pace with me yesterday, but dramatically fell away as I accelarated up.  I would have told him "get an Omega" if he had not disappeared behind me!
 ;D ;D ;D ;D

I hope he didn't blow his engine though!  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Unless the Small Ends give way and lead to more damage.

THe 3.0 is quick but I cannot get comfortable in it, the TD I know is slower than my 2.6 as I had one try it on once.

Just now wait and see what he gets

I can vouch that a 4wd 3.0 matched my MV6, but had superior cornering ability in a fast sweeper in the wet - mine went all twitchy on this very fast bend, he went round on rails and left me for dust until he hit traffic...
