how many miles she covered i'll probally guess about 80,000, also if it's not been seviced reg the oil isn't doing the job propally as it losses it's viscossity so nothing's getting lubed as it should, also another thing and it's the killer is thrashing the s**t out of the car when it's not at normall running temp, usually between 5-10 min so the oil has had timeto work it's way around the engine

its only got 70000 on the clock, the car came with fulkl service history from toyota, problem is i'm worried to red line the car now, thinking of seelling it getting a honda ciivic type are, or getiing the t sport, dont no which, but when i spoke to toyota tech, they said it was a common problem, the shells on the big end had changed shape :crybaby::fear::fear:

but is this the problem on the 140bhp or all the 190 bhp engines
