    Unhappy Oh bugger

    Think I've bent a rod. Engine now has loud rattling noise. Feck.

    Now got to source a decent engine, don't really want to break the car.

    Should have popped in. Even to my work. Kettles always on.

    Emailed a few yards about engines.

    Don't know why it happened. Not changed anything on the car.
