My car gave up on 14th April, turns out it managed to melt a hole through the piston whilst on the motorway. A full rebuild is on the way still and should (fingers crossed) be done in a couple of weeks. So that's 13 to 14 weeks of no car !! Not bad seen as I only bought it around 10 months ago.

In a blatant attempt to make me feel better, any chance anyone has had to wait longer than this??
Cheers.

 

A year and a half mine has been off road after blowing a conrod through block. Should be bak on road in a few weeks

 

3 years and there was nothing wrong with it. Money saving/property purchase exercise.

 

Holy cr@p !!!

 

Year and half for me modifing it and saving for insurance.

 

back in 1998 I ordered a new turbo 2000 in reddish blue
11 months later it turned up in dbm blue with all the my2000 upgrades
that was the longest 11 months of my life

 

10 months because of pistons and big end bearings died, should be back on the road in a month hopefully.

 

Year and a half, piston and bearings went and I haven't got round to fixing it yet.

 

2 Days, Engine blew so lifted it out and fitted my own custom build forged motor and away we went again minimal down time

 

my engine failed march 26, car should be back up and running week starting 18 july.
it feels like years!

 

Very impressive. I wasted longer than that when mine died praying to the motoring gods for a miracle.

 

Mine blew at the end of April and should be back on the road in the next couple of months with a new 2.35 with rotated gt30.... Hope to get it all mapped and ready for a Nurburgring trip in September

 

mine had piston ring failure 15 months ago ! been saving and spending 1000s on him ! should be on the road soon with a forged lump ? cant wait

 

mine has been off the road since October 2009

 

Mines has been two years, took it off the road for the winter and to fit a flocked dash. Got half way through taking the old dash out and couldnt be ar$ed with it and shoved it back into the garage where its been since

 

i've just waited 7 weeks while i've been sorting my brakes out, i thought that was a long time until i read this thread!
