Reported engine blew up, driver switched off and it would not crank over.
40 litres of oil and 20 litres of coolant out of the sump.
Popped the rear head off to find the exhaust valve in a sorry state, liner two cracks, big end and mains worn, not shagged but on their way.
Thought better look at 5 and 4, 5 came off nice, 4 head bolt snapped clean off which sent me flying!
Still 30 years old and an estimated 2 million kms under its wheels.
