Im sorry mate to hear this... so suck! I was wonder how many km does your car done? and is auto or man?

If I were you, rather put new motor in it and look after it as long.

Sorry to hear, Im in same boat.

Mine broke Halloween 2009 and still trying to budget to put it together.

Im only needing valves and main girdle now and then will be able have my baby going again.

Min dropped number 6 rod, hole in sump, piston broke, big chips out of bore on bottoms.

head looks fine but yet to pull valves, they had hit piston so even if ok they are going in the bin.

Not cheap to build like other engines.

I maybe able to line up with a FG F6 bottom end for around $2800 from Ford if that helps you.

Your going to have to strip your engine and find the extent of the damage.

Good luck with warrenty, should be ok as you have not done mods, they will probably try to bullsh*t you

just tell them you have witnesses and its not as if you would be hammering that hard at that time of night

outside your mates house to break it.

You have a receipt from towie I hope so you can back it up.

Also even if you did nail it, hopefully none of his neighbours heard you, so if they decide to go ask any of them.

Also dont let them try to bullsh*t you and get advice from fair Trading.

Good Luck.
