Tonight i hydrolocked
 

Yep tonight i was giving a friend a lift home and the rain picked up badly and what i thought was a shallow puddle ended up been the mother of all puddles resulting in a seized engine :( FML

That sucks...

Oh no! That really is terrible. May I refer you to the engine swap how to guide....?

That's a shitter.

And whilst I'm gutted for you too - may I refer you to the fact that I'm breaking my 180 hatch which has a very strong engine .....

Take all the plugs out first and try spin it over, dry plugs and try, may have been lucky

my mate is a breaker and has a zt 190 in with belts done etc, said hes gunna sort me out and help me fit the engine

Well at least you are already looking at sorting it.

Nice one. Think there may be ECU type reprogramming issues with it but sure it'll be fine if you get all the electronic gubbins with it.

Yeah i need to get it recovered later on today, then after work tommorow me and a few mates are hoping to have the engine out and ready for the new engine the day after
