well went to southend and bas last night with a few mates. took the corsa as the buyer i had lined up turned out to be a time waster
was on me way home bout 1 am, giving the car a good thrashin down the a130. got back to chelmsford and all of a sudden car starts boggin down. next thing i know engine management light came on then the oil pressure light
check out the oil etc and everything seemed fine so let her cool down and then started her up and my god did she make some noise
by the sounds the bottom end is fucked and the top end is tapping slightly, got her towed home and left her over night
checked her today after work and went to start her up and nothin dead, the engine has seized
