Welcome aboard mate, fear not there will be a tech-head along soon enough. Why dont you tell us a bit more about it. Model, year, any history etc, thats going to help.

Welcome to nesf

Hi and welcome to nesf, we also had the same problem as you, we've had our scoob over 2 years now, but about 11 weeks after buying it we had the bottom end death rattle, we replaced crank, bearings, oil pump, gaskets, timing belt, modene, oil, coolant and also one of the rods, we went for New and uprated parts to make it stronger, if I remember rightly the parts cost us approx £1200, then labour on top of that, (Luckily I've got a clever brother for that) you may not need everything we did, but it's just to give you an idea, sure someone with more knowledge will be on later with some advice. Hope you get it sorted.

Thanks for that I can do probably all of the work myself so I'll have to price everything up thanks

defo sounds like a rebuild....been through it all myself mate, now its down to you how much you want to put into the engine.......dive in deep i did

I wish I could dive in deep but dont think my pockets will cope

yeh i totaly understand that mate its not cheap by any means, but also doesnt have to be a rush.......i could have just replaced the whole engine cheaper than wot it cost in the long run but well worth it at the end if you ask me......but its become an addiction which am pleased to say am hooked ;0)
