Fkn hell man.. I would be giving those dodgy pricks a call, and letting loose..

Meh, no way I'm taking it back to those fking monkeys anyway :lol: :lol: :lol:

c**nts took six months to put a f**king engine together.. I can have an engine stripped and put back together in a day with enough red bull, and I'm not even an engine builder. Or even a qualified mechanic for that matter.

My engine is leaking like a siv at the moment and I have replaced every f**king seal. My gearbox also has a hole in the casing. I dont even know what I should do. There's so much oil is pretty much 3 quarters the way down the underside of the car.

Yeah, or be a good car owner and fix it...

Pisses me off when people don't take care of their cars.

Have had numerous Mazda 2s come into work with 500k+ on them.

Matt, clean your engine with a bunch of brake cleaner and start again.. I had a bunch of oil everywhere, thought it was a cam seal, turned out to be just rocker cover not nipped up tight enough on the rear bank.

No Daniel im pretty sure its pissing out of every single f**king seal. Also I have a hole in my gearbox casing. Inspecting a new car tomorrow. Can't not have a daily anymore. I do take care of my car also thank you very much. Its just been a f**king lemon from the very beginning and im wasting my time fixing it.

Never said you didn't. Was more pointing at Shhtuart that just said just put up with it :lol:

Just swap your motor out for a low km one? Surely Shane-o's sh*t shop can sort one out for you. Spend a weekend swapping motors and you're cheering.

But yeah I'm the same.. looking into VR4s, eggbeaters or an MPS 6.

No engine swaps no gearbox swaps. Just getting a different car and going to leave it for a bit and come back to it and hook in.

+1, my POS is running well too. Think I fixed that big oil leak too. Getting it up on the hoist tomorrow to find out.

Martin why do the cars work when we're apart?
