really sorry to hear that mate, no chance of a new head? or are pistons damaged?
If you do break it I may well be interested in bits, depending on what you have etc, whereabouts in the country are you?

Ahhhhh noooo! always a shame when another one has to depart from the roads.
Is it possible I could have the air intake that sits behind the grille on the left hand side as you open the bonnet, if you are breaking it?
Karl.

For the money Adam paid, he could get another Polo GT without all the hassle of fixing this one.
Adam, that stereo you sold me is broken BTW!

Have you whipped the head off it yet? The head from a 1.3CL Mk3 Polo is the same, so there's your cheap source of new valves etc. - you'd just have to swap the cam over (which is no problem as it'd be out anyway). Add to that a headskim, new gaskets and cambelt etc. you could have it fixed for £150 or so if you do it yourself. That's assuming the pistons aren't damaged though.

we seriously need to find a good place to get recon / scrap engines from to do transplants with
