    hi, im new to this forum
    i have just purchased a VT 20v
    i was driving yesterday on the motorway and then a big bang and smoke everywhere at the back
    i was AA recovered home.
    i have had a look at it today, cambelt is intact
    water is nice and blue
    oil level is ok
    there was no overheating issuses although i did notice a lack in power
    situation now is car wont start, it trys and idles so poorly then cuts off
    also sounds like there is no exhaust connected anymore
    has anyone experienced this or any ideas??
    thanks in advance

    had a proper look today, got under and removed the under tray.
    there was bits of metal in it!!!!
    at the front just under where the dipstick goes in there is a whole in the block
    it appears to have thrown a rod
    question is what is salvagable from it?
    would the turbo be minced aswell??
    how much would it be approx to replace the unit
