No worries! That would be great, thanks mate. Did yours cut out and refuse to turn back on as well?I assume if your picking up today then its fixed?? Great news, happy for you, even if i am slightly jealous :wink:How much if you don't mind me asking

Yes I did, 1 min later I started again ( without the fail on my panel ) and runs like 4km to my mechanic.

For my money Pesky his job is not the same as yours,I feel his is just a pickup pipe clean and then a reassembly.
Roadrebel:
Pesky, I told you what happened to mine and yours sounds the same. Just to confirm, does the inlet camshaft turn when you turn the engine by hand?
If yes then the chain has slipped and the valves may be ok.
If no then the chain has broken and some of the pistons have hit some of the valves and bent them.
You can determine this in seconds without messing about with the chain and cover.
Pesky jones:
@Roadrebel if it had skipped a few teeth then id agree possibly no valves damaged, but it looks like its skipped quite a bit. I still need to remove the cover to look at the condition of thr tensioner and chain etc. To confirm that was the reason for the low oil pressure message. If its in good condition then the oil pressure message has come from somewhere else.

I didn’t think I could remove the oil pump unit to reveal the big ends because the bolts aren’t reusable and apparently cost 600£! Im hoping that the big ends never lost oil pressure if it was just the tensioner exploding and loosing oil pressure there. There would still be oil pressure in the block, right? I’d hate to get the head rebuilt/replaced etc spend a load of money only to find there are issues with the block.
