    It all depends upon the insurance asseser when they come as to wether it's a write off or can be repaired but it looks like it could be a full engine rebuild :(

    Ouch, mate I sympathise and hope for better success with the next rebuild or replacement...

    So sorry to hear this. :( I'm sad for you and for the loss of another MK1. Im worried that they will go into a rapid decline like the Escort.

    Paul just read about this really sorry to hear about it. If they write it off you could always buy it off them usualy get it pretty cheap and then put a new engine in? Otherwise new car, what would you think about getting.

    It's just if the cost of rebuilding the entire engine bay outways the cost of the entire car it's wrote off that's my main concern :(

    As soon as I can get it trailerd for Middlesbrough home then I can notify the insurance and organise a viewing

    Sorry to hear this, hopefully the insurance will be fair to you. Are you still thinking about getting a new car like you mentioned at Ford Fair? If you get a decent payout from the insurance you could use it as a deposit.
