Another dead engine
Hi,had my 2001 3.4 C2 for a couple years and thought it was ok.Mileage 91k Went for a quick run today.All ok and did about 20 miles.Stopped at workshop for 15 mins or so and left for a blast. 5 miles later while following a slow car about 50 noticed a slight rattle.Oil pressure had dropped slightly so stopped. Had my son tow me back with the Disco to my workshop. Started the engine briefly,definately bearings shot.Hopefully not to much damage caused. The race workshop I use for my other cars used to run a GT3 in Britcar so should be able to fix. Good excuse to get the Exige out again.Will let you know the results of the strip down. Mike
