lol thanks = ] well thats now understood!
however just got off the phone from the mechaninc who was very apologetic as he made the wrong judgement on my vehicle!
he just tole me that my con rod was damaged!
Result = get a new motor!!!!
i feeel ill - this will now cost me $$$$$ =]
But he was nice enough to organise the tow back to my house nad pay for it to subsidise for his miss-judgement on my vehicle!

print out the pics on this and take it to your mechanic to see what parts he needs it will save you a lot of money comparring to getting a full motor.
them pm me with what parts you need and we can get you back on the road
