basically was going down the road when the ride started gettin bumpy, the exhaust seemed to get louder and the exhaust was smoking. Went to the side of the road and waited about 5 mins, went to start it, it ticked over once and threw out loads of smoke (filled the whole street). yesterday i put some of the lube onto my induction kit supplied from the manufacturer because it was dry, i dont feel this has any relevance but wrote it anyway.

Basically:

1) Do u ppl think my engines knakered completely?

2)If not what do u think it is?

3)How much and what work is involved in putting the gsi engine in it?

Any help will be appreciated, Steve.

See my post down the bottom for an update
