did you have the pressure light come on first or anything? Or did it just go pop?

Break yours for parts mate and get another.

thanks will do it dont mind £500

try posting something rather than just quoting others to increase your post count

2 miles with the light on!

It may be worth replacing the oil pick up pipe & strainer as I've heard of people suffering the same as you & the engine sounding like a bag of spanners, but replacing the oil pick up pipe has brought the engine back from the dead. It's a cheap job to do so probably worth a shot.

yea but 2 mile with the motor starved doing 3k rpm at time of light comming on I cant see that working or being much use if it does run, never know tho they are tough engines. Turbo will more than likely be naff like but could save the engine.

Gotta be worth a try. Sure there was someone on here recently who had similar prob & drove the car home rattling away, but new pick up got him going again.

i agree got to be worth a try but it will deffo knackerd the turbo

ill give you £50 for the knackerd engine

I fixed your quotes
