Been getting the low oil pressure on recently so took it work today to change my pick up pipe, whipped the sump of and to my horror I found the thrust bearings sat in the bottom off the sump all bent and twisted, main bearings scoured at the sides where the thrust washers shud have been, there was about 10mm play side to side in,
The weirdest thing is that the car drove perfect, no knocking or tapping, no power loss, just the oil light would come on every no and then when it got up to temputure at idle,
I'm devastated , nipped work today about 1pm thinking id be changing the pick up an 4hours later I've got the engine pulled out on the hoist, a furious wife and no tea
I'm on the hunt for a good cheap bottom end or engine (auq) if any one on here has one for sale

Ouch ! Still, could have been worse.. At least you have the facilities to sort it out by the sounds and there's always plenty of reasonable lumps about
Gutted for you And your engine mate! A new bottom end is however more important than tea!!

Found a decent engine on ebay, 89k £350, think I'm gonna go with that one,, went work again today, stripped engine down to bare block, chucked every thing in the boot and pushed it out the garage on to car park, she will be there now till next Saturday, I'm hoping to have her going again by Sunday night

Lol. On a steady run I get 70-80mpg!
On a 70 mile run back from alton towers today, about 50mph all the way cos of roadworks.
Just found an old video of me at the pod in my first Cupra... http://www.santapod.co.uk/tv_intro.php?ID=39#tv i'm at about 5 minutes in.
In the last month, had a new front HIDs (complete with lifetime guarantee), Badger 5 TIP fitted, Eibach 25mm front & rear anti-roll bars and Powerflexed all the front end. The car has been transformed in responsiveness, handling and comfort, it almost feels like a new car.
