Major Help Needed...!!!!

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

sounds to me like an IOTY nomination lol

We agree, he's joined the list of nominations

[surfenstein]

sorry to hear about the engine,but dude.im with apache here,did you not read the instructions on the can.??????.good call wolf.

[lord lucan]

its a wind up, if he knows how to check the top and bottom pulleys for movement? and says he is going to take the head off to check he cant be that dumb

[Apache]

PEOPLE, NEVER BE CONNED INTO THINKING THESE THINGS WORK! THEY MAY DO IN SOME INSTANCES BUT WHY NOT JUST FIX THE PROBLEM INSTEAD OF USING STUFF THAT CAN ONLY CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS.

I think the stuff is designed as a 'last ditch' repair for cars that aren't cost effective to repair - or are you really suggesting I should have spent a few hundred quid replacing the head on a D reg Pug 205 worth around £200??

Nah mate, a £5 bottle of blockweld and a year later it was still going strong. In fact, I sold it for £200 (what I paid for it) and several years later I was still seeing it scooting around Malvern! THAT is cheap motoring.

There is a place for these products. It isn't in cars economically viable to fix properly, and it CERTAINLY isn't in oil!!!

lol thanks for the nomination boys....
As for reading the instructions, you mean the ones that say this product is an irritant an is not meant for human consumption.. then yes i did... lol
For the Dumb comment... ummm I did check both pully's, the top had movment but the bottom is solid...! i've removed the head and all seems to be in working order so its only the bottom thats not moving... so being a stuburn git i will be removing the bottom part of the engine and stripping the little git to see just how much damage i've done...

Fingers crossed i can get some movment.....

yes but you sold it??????????

you wouldnt use it and keep it because you know there is an underlying problem.

for every one that may work (for an unspecific amount of time - NOTE, TEMPORARY REPAIR) there are probably a few more that still fail.

is it worth bodging up your trusted car? do you want it to let you down when you least need the hassle or do you care for the 2nd most expensive thing in your life..... the mrs being number 1 not the house.

i am only saying, of course, it must work.....for a while otherwise people wouldnt buy the stuff would they, but....whats the point unless you just need it to work till its sold?

pity the new owner and all.

how would you feel if you bought a car then found that it had been oddjobbodged?

just a thought

Oh hang on, let me go back over my post to where I wrote "I sold it cos I bodged it"...

I sold it cos my MR2 was back on the road after major work and I no longer needed it.

I also sold it to someone local, who knew about the head, but having seen it continue to work for a year, didn't care much as he was only paying £200 for a working car.

God, you gotta love the preachy bu99ers who jump down your throat with assumptions made to suit their personal rant in this place sometimes.

I assume you 'being in the car business' means you were a mehanic who'd rather stiff me £500 for a head on a car worth sod all? And that makes you a saint?

Yeah, right!

i am def no mechanic than you.

i am not insulting anyone, i am just saying that they are usually crap.

taKe A chill pill and sorry if i ranted a little but as i said "there are some instances when these things work"

i didnt aim anything towards you i was just stating a fact.

what if your nice smurf had been sold to you with a cracked head but some muppet just put some radweld in to keep you going till you got home, work, holiday etc......

wouldnt be too happy, thats all i was saying.

my names not matt you know

phew

[BUSHWHACKER]

Why would you put block sealer in a smurf? I would have thought he was feeling blue already.

It's SURF! ffs!

How come I always get dragged into arguments?

Btw, I still think the O.P is just a good old fashioned f*ckwit, (until this opinion gets moderated again).

[speedymacfish]

well at least all the squabbling took the heat off me...lol
