Thought about other possible enignes? engine swap?

If what every one says is true, y replace it with one that could possibly have the same issue 20kms down the road?

m5 engines are better and way cooler..... do it! ...

Also do you need the car? could you take time and rebuild it yourself and make it better?

Have entertained the pipe dream but as it is I'm

Not happy forking out the balance (over the warranty cover) for just swapping over the "right" engine let alone putting an s85.

Will be taking preventative measures with new engine and probably changing cars soon too. We'll see.

And yeh, do need the car. Being without for this long has been a massive PITA.

I'll help with a 1UZ-E92 swap if you like? Will be a bit grandpa spec performance wise though unless we put a dirty great twin screw supercharger on.

Just out of interest how much is the insurance willing to cover? Don't answer if you're not comfortable saying.

if you do end up rebuilding the bottom end of your current engine then it's in good hands with Taylor. They are well known in the motorsport arena for being one of the top in the country. They've done a fantastic job on the bottom end of my turbo mini block.

Going ahead with the engine replacement with a second-hand. May have an S65 up for sale soon :) otherwise it's going to be a table.

Insurance doesn't cover anything, warranty is 8K. :)
