Yeah I want to strip it down a bit after we've swapped over the engine and see what has happened in there. The hole looks fairly small but it also looks like the bottom end is sitting funny inside so could well be snapped crank. If it has snapped, what effect could it possibly have had on the...

Lol there was definitely oil. This I know as it proceeded to liberally coat the car park floor when this happened. So, general consensus is that the gearbox will be ok?

Excellent, brilliant news to me :) I was out with some friends and there has been this rattling noise for a while so we were curious as to what was causing it. As I revved it there was a fairly loud snap noise followed by loud grating/knocking, smoke and a pool of oil with bits of engine in...

Hey guys, Been a while since I've posted here. In the early hours of Sunday morning my engine pretty much exploded, or at least it seemed that way. As you should be able to see from the picture, the engine is not servicable but the question is, has it also wrecked my gearbox? I'm not too sure...

Went to try and get some fuel last night after work. My usual two stations were dry so I had to go to another which sort of dried out while I was there. Looks kinda crap for me at the mo :P

Taken on Sony Ericsson K800i. Whipsnade Animal Park. No enhancing.

Absolutely ;)

Tanjung Aru Beach, Malaysia Taken with Nikon Coolpix 2500. Resized using PP7, no enhancing.

Could well be. I found that when I stuck some 15" alloys on my 1.0 it started doing that short squeak noise if you bring the clutch up quickly. It's the clutch slipping. Not the end of the world but certainly irritating.

Should you run into difficulties, AL10 isn't far from me so I can go check it out.

Do you mean to say that he saw those girls, stood in awe and then made that little white mess on his shirt?

Haha nice. Just checked and I can see my old 1.0 LX sitting on my drive.

I've heard about that one actually. Meant to be really good. May be a bit far north though. Thinking of keeping it down nearer our end I believe.

Well there's lots of places we can all have dinner around Herts. Got Karting in Letchworth I think, Cinemas all over Herts, Shopping at various places, Quasar in Hemel Hempstead (Think it's still there), Stanborough Park for Picnics, Harpenden has a nice common for taking pics and there's lots...

You forget the ones we snapped of you as well lol :P Was an awesome day and lots of pics taken. Got a few of mine up on Facebook now. Me and Gus were laughing at the video James took where you can hear the music getting louder as he approaches my car and then it slowly fades out as he walks...

Good stuff ;) You've caught my nuisance noise quite well there lol :P Think bolton got some video footage too so we'll have to get him to post it up.

Sounds good to me! :D Big thanks to Ollie for getting today's meet together and also to everyone who turned up and made it a wicked day. Can't wait for the next one (And am dreading having to sort through and upload all the pics I took today haha :P)

Lol can't hide the dents in my car. Bloody shoppers. Every time I park up to go do some shopping, some git comes along and opens their door into it. I've not been to any meets except the one where everyone pansied out and didn't tell me. May as well give it a good clean as it's currently...
