Hi

I found some bodywork bits for a 4.6i a while back off EBay from a company called Mcfall spare in Merseyside.

Probably easiest to have a search on eBay as there are always cars being broken.

Also there was a post last year on buy and sell for one to be broken but I can't remember the forum members name

what caused it to throw a rod, surely that's unusual??

It looks like it had catastrophic oil pump failure at high rpm  .

Shouldn't have asked, just something else to get paranoid about.

Out of interest, at what mileage did this failure occur?
