Well folks my t5 has just started rattling her big ends big time!!!I was stuck for oil last week and stupidly put 5/30 in it.(from min o dipstick),tappets were a tad noisy last night so today i went to top it up and it was showing nothing on dipstick.I put 10/40 in it and thought thats her sorted,how wrong was i! I went for a blast a few miles out of town and all was sound.On my way back i was pottering with radio on,car in front was in no hurry so as i dropped a few cogs to overtake the rattle drowned out the radio.(sinking feeling in belly) Pulled over and shut it off,phoned a mate for a tow home and we both came to the conclusion that shes goosed!must have been rattling for a good few miles.My mate couldnt get over how chilled out i was about my pride and joy been goosed,i on the other hand was imagining her coming back to life with a few more upgrades.Just starting my old job back tmrw,so the funds are going to be there to throw at it.Got a loan on the way for an M5 to keep me entertained until volvo is fixed,so thats putting a smile on my face also.If anyone knows where i could get a block from,please let us know or a cheap t5 thats up in Scotland.Ah well,on foot for a few weeks.exercise will do me good,Cheers Paul..
