Well had a curse word evening and its all cars faults!! I've been selling a 1999 Toyota Avensis for a friend. Finally got it sold on ebay to a very pleasant German Fella who's bought a few Toyota's and is coming to pick them up over the weekend. So we took it out for a drive this evening. Just a toddle over to friends house. Not a thrash in fact just a cruise. On the way back the Oil Light came on and the bottom end started Knocking. !! Engine is now shagged! Looks like oil pump failure, can't believe it! Why didn't we just let the guy come and pick it up and just be done with it! I've told the lady i'm selling it for that its sold so I'm just gunna give her the money and absorb the loss Anyway have some pics to cheer me up:

Wow can't believe you've found a pic of the Rover. Polodragin's boss Ken built it, then sold it to the Police who used it as a advertising tool.

No the Rover is long gone I'm afraid. Think the chassis went under Wayne Nicholson's E30 beemer drag car and the engine into something else.

Thats bad luck with the toyota. Wow can't believe you've found a pic of the Rover. Polodragin's boss Ken built it, then sold it to the Police who used it as a advertising tool. Matt What exactly do the police need to advertise?. Have some small stuff

Can I ask if the Toyota has been properly maintained while the lady has had it, if not I would be telling her that the engine is kaput, and she isnt going to get any money for it, apart from scrap. Bit harsh I know, but if she hasnt serviced it properly, then the blame is on her.

You taking the hit for that sounds a bit steep, How hards some new shells and an oil pump on one of those? I did the big end shells on an late 80's corolla for my grandad a while back without taking engine out.. wasn't too bad a job as I remember.
