Well it’s been a little while but leading up to Christmas and buying pressies sending cards along with general goodwill to all, the inevitable upset has occurred, our old faithful Seat Toledo was being driven by me for it’s MOT, just coming out of the 40 limit and beginning to accelerate when ‘Bang’ engine onto 3 cylinders with coasting into nearby side road. Looked under bonnet and black oil everywhere. Towed her home and removed sump which had hole in it front and rear to find No.3 conrod snapped an inch below the gudgeon pin and Conrod looking like an S. Being 2003 she is scrap only, had to fork out for another car which at this time of year me and everyone gets an orange and nothing else. Happy Christmas to all, enjoy the festivities. I have included piccys of damage  The 400/4 rebuild is on back burner at the moment

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
What a bummer - it's a bit academic now but what do you think caused the conrod to snap? - be surprised if it's metal fatigue / failure of the rod itself - seized piston perhaps - only seen broken conrods in cars due to hydraulic failure by driving through flood water - water in the cylinder head generally.
