Hello,
I was heading down to somerset for the weekend then up to new quay in wales but unfortunately my buggy died.
I had done all the servicing and repairs including wheel arch bracket ect and on on the M4 the buggy was running a bit ropey and struggled to get over 85 but I continued on and the temperature rose up and eventually I decided it was time to pull over in to the hard shoulder and let the buggy tick over to cool down but then horror as the oil light came on so I killed the engine and hopped out and staright away I could see that there was oil absolutely everywhere so idecided that maybe i should call the RAC.
About 20 mins passed and the RAC turned up and he checked the oil and all was fine he said there was plenty in their he said start the engine which is what i did and the oil light was flicking on and off and he said the engine sounded harsh then he decided that the crank was knackered.
Luckily for us we had friends following down to somerset so we loaded their car with our luggage and I sent the buggy home on the back of a low loader.
I am however having a dilemma..... what should I do???
A) rebuild the engine and fit it and strip buggy completly down shot blast re powder coat and rebuild again
B) Buy a new chassis ect and completley rebuild buggy with new everything
C) rebuild buggy and do like trialling in it and build the Mojo which i have had my eye on for ages
D) sell buggy and build a Mojo
Anyway must go and carry on crying while i decide what to do
hope you all had a better week
