    Use a site like imgur.com. It'll let you upload the image and give you some BBCode to paste into you post to display it in this thread.

    Looks like your engine mounting has collapsed, hitting the timing sprockets!

    hello

    Ah right.....so i'm pretty stuck then. What do you think i should do or what normally happens? do you just try and get rid of the vehicle as broken or spares?? so confused.

    its done 67k and a 53 plate.
    What is the value of the car to you, in real terms

    From outside it's probably worth 1 to 2 K,

    New /replacement engine? well , you need to do the sums, but please factor in if some smartass of a scrappy chap has you over, and you buy a dork???, needs condisering methinks
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
  • sorry about the size - i can email or give you the link to the site if you want?
