No not my tabby...... my catalunya
on the way home from work on Friday i decided to pop in past my girlfriends. As i was slowing down to pull in to the drive i changed down a gear, engine died phoned the garage and they came straight out !! he had a quick look over the car made sure it wasn't the timing belt. Couldn't see anything so he tried turning the engine over, as he was doing it there was a grinding noise coming from the engine bay. I don't know a lot bout engines but from what iv heard i thought it might be the big end bearing, i finally got the car in to the garage tonight and there looking first thing tomorrow, i spoke to the mechanic earlier tonight and he reckons its the crankshaft ! i know its going to cost £££s if it is !!
Can anyone help me out, i need to know what options iv got. do i just get it fixed ?? iv heard there is a local engineering company thats fitted a lot of reconditioned engines to scoobys or do i search breakers for a second hand engine ???
