Tiger Two's S has been the paragon of reliability in the 4 years she's owned it, track days European tours and general hoons as well as day to day stuff.

Sadly a couple of weeks ago it was taken one step too far.

A driver training day at Milbrook, which as you know involved hard cornering, and general chuck the car around stuff.

on the way home (6 miles from home to be exact) the bottom end started rattling by the time the car was pulled over and stopped the damage was done.
The oil level was ok before the day started but was around the minimum level when checked afterwards (although it was tough to take a reading at the time so it may have been lower)

The bottom end has been checked and is realistically beyond hope so the best option is to source another one.

Does anyone know of any for sale or the best place to look?

 

Hi Mate,
Try Garage R owner and general mechanical good guy on here. I know he has supplied a few replacement engines on here.

I'll bet you 10 pence that J_D comes along and recommends him too

 

He's on commission?

for Garage R from me as well

 

Bad luck, Harsh!

I've not had such oil loss, but surge is probably what did mine, TBH.

I got one from Douglas Valley Breakers, if that helps.

 

Id recommend Kwikfit


Nah just kidding

As above, Rob at Garage R is a good friend of mine, and he's an S2000 specialist, and IMO the best in the country. I wouldn't trust anyone else to work on my car, and his prices make Honda look like bank robbers.

Give him a call

Yep my MY99 engine has developed quite a thirst for castrol edge at 125,000 miles

Still sounds just as sexual on cam with the top down.

 

thanks for the advice and links guys. I've passed them on to Nancy...

she's gutted, really loves her S, (i do too actually so want to see it back on the road)

 

Hope you manage to get it sorted soon Bachi and Nancy gets back on the road
