Search hard on eBay, some of them want £1400 others will settle for £1k. Delivery is another £60 and refitting cost me £500 labor. I managed to get a 73k complete engine with history for £900 off a private buyer (no warranty). I was then able to sell turbo, alternator etc to claw back some money. I also took the oppertunity to renew the cambelt and replace the dual mass and clutch (not cheap) but zero labour while engine is on the flaw. Total cost was about 2k to get the car going again but more like £1100 if take salvage parts from engine and exclude clutch work which I would have had to do at some point down the road anyway.

Right, ive got a new idea/ plan. Going to investigate further myself.
This is my theory. Before the incident, my engine sounded rattly when warm. Probably something to do with the cam chain/tensioner etc.
So on the day of the track day, something brakes in my.hydraulic tensioner causing it to no longer hold the right oil pressure (giving low pressure dash message) then, because no oil pressure in tensioner, the chain slips and the timing goes ( resulting in cutting out and refusing to turn back on )
This is a feasible reason for everything isnt it? Now just to prove it.

Have you had the cam cover and cam chain cover off yet?
