Just got bad news tonight friend of a friend who was looking at engine says engine top end had run dry and no oil getting to camshaft/crankshaft.His words were top end is "all chewed" .Any suggestions if its just replace the top end ,replace full engine ,or cut my losses and scrap it.Fed up now :'( :(

just drop a new engine in go around the forums and you should find a full engine for around £500-800 complete.

it is actually alot easier to swap the engine than it is to strip it...

Cheers thought that was going to be the only option.Have checked e-bay can't see any at that kind of price.Engine is AUQ any chance you could point me in the right direction to the forums.Much appreciated

You could try these guys for an engine -
