Same happened with mine mate, drove 10miles with it knocking goin home... Crank, full set of shells and a no.3 conrod... ouch!

that guy is a hero!! i did used to own a saxo AND was a member of sax-p.... feel sick thinking of those dark days :-( !! constant reminder in the rear view mirror constantly up my way. i wish they would just accept that A. a 1.6 8v citroen is NOT and NEVER will 'rapid' and B. Just because you overtook me does NOT mean your saxo is faster than my car. rant over :-) haha

Bet he thought he was bein really clever aswell haha

awww i can remember the original story in the sun bout this, guy was low on fuel and followed sat nav to nearest fuel station.. personally i would have hit 'alternative route' when i started headin down the gravelly mountain track!!! what a nob haha

I know! its sooo wrong, but seems almost right. the volvo bit that gets me lol

Small problem i'm having... Got the engine and box sitting on my garage floor at the mo, box split from engine not a prob (its an auto by the way lol) BUT the torque convertor stayed on the engine side... any other autoboxes ive removed, the torque convertor has stayed with the box so just to ask if anyone knows if this is how it should come apart, and if it is how is the torque convertor removed? Not wanting to go mad with larry the lever if its held on by more than just 13years of usage! haha! Any help appreciated folks, cheers

<br /><br /><br /> Cheers mate. From Gorebridge, just outside edinburgh
