"Car was driving fine then engine stalled and did not want to start again. Did a compression test and found no compression on cylinder 3. Rest was all fine. Local mechanic took cylinder head off and found the exhaust cam bolt loose and the dowl pin napped off. He suggested me buy a used motor for R17500. How much will it be to overhaul? Or will it be cheaper to replace."

"When starting up the car, there is a loud crank which later dies down whilst the engine is heating up. Also, the car sputters when accelerating, the engine also sounds like a diesel engine when the car is in gear, but the sound disappears when the gears are in neutral. I also noticed that the car is consuming a lot of water, I had the radiator replaced, but that did not solve the problem."

"Engine light is on so I don't know what goes on."

"Check if thermostat is present. If present, check if working. Car overheats after driving about 150km or when in a hurry. Doesn't happen immediately. Also quote for collection in Arum Street Morningside."
