Blast it! Just drove into flood and damaged engine???

Open heart surgery is far preferable in this case; the motor is bosch pumped, only 85k miles, smoothest xud I've had (out of atleast 10!) and finding a comparable xud in condition I'm happy with would be nigh on impossible; done the ebay / scrappy / so-called refurb engine thing before - all been crap. Proper job? - do it yourself; not a major ball ache on an xud. The saab v6 3.0 tid on the other hand - oh my word! Heller of a job.

 

you got the wrong tense there... 'was the smoothest engine'.

 

i picked up an engine last year for £100, only needed it for the injector pump and injectors thou.. wound the pump up... plenty of black smoke but by god did she go.

that was a partner van. i am not secure enough with my sexuality to drive a xantia

i was borrowing my mother in laws pug 205. hit some water at a rate of knots, made it out the other side but it was knocking like a pig and well under powerd.

got down the road and it made a bit of a crunching sound..

con rod 4 had bust through the engine casing and actually snapped the starter motor off!!

it still ran when you bump started it thou!!

The best way to get a XUD in the old days was a cheap BX mot failure but they are all gone now. Good car the BX, I liked it.
