Bought my '06 zed in August from Evans Halshaw with 76k miles. So far had great service with them fixing every problem I could find such as headlight washers, air con, missing tow eye trim. They also skimmed the front discs due to vibration which came back so they replaced front discs and pads.
However, on Friday I set off to take a 4 hour journey down South and 10-15 minutes after leaving as I accelerated down a slip road... bang! Engine let go and sounded like I was driving over stones as debris hit the underside of the car. Pulled over in a cloud of smoke, oil everywhere. Next morning got underneath and there is a hole in the engine block.
The oil was checked and was mid way which is still visible on the dipstick. Only super unleaded has been used by myself. Evans had the car Mot and service before I bought it. (It also has FSH)
Mileage now at 79k
Unsurprisingly my 3 month warranty is out by a month so I await a call from Evans Halshaw with more information.
Anyone had this happen before? Or have any advice on where I should go from here regarding dealing with the garage? ðŸ˜
Thanks for any help, rob.
