    Hobart road New Lambton. Conrods or valves, either way the engine is stuffed so it really doesn't matter to me. Like I said though, at some point I will pull the engine down and find out what damage was caused.

    thats a damn shame, joey was saying the lake was pretty un seeable, or at least its depth when he went to the rescue.

    whats your thoughts on repair grant, second hand engine or fix this one?

    It's in the hands of the insurers now so hopefully they will pay for a reco'd engine.

    That really suck about the engine.
    Shannons should be pretty reasonable about buy backs of written off vehicles.
    Normally, if you pay an extra $18 per year on your premium they will let you keep the car at no extra charge if it is written off.

    The Celica is with Shannons so I will have to put in a bid if it comes to that.
