There's so many things it could be, You need to give us a bit more info than that, ie does it do it all the time? Hot or cold? Where about on the engine (if known) Power loss? Does the engine still run sweet?

Where u based?

check the sparkplugs are done up, mine were loose & I was convinced it was the bottom end.

Prices for a rebuild vary from place to place, but API are probably the most recommended (although I haven't used them due to my location)

ring around mate

If the bottom end has gone, and that's a big IF! You're looking at more like 2.5-3k for a proper job on a full rebuild.

I'd suggest you have a chat with Daid at APi, no BS there and no obligation.

Tell him Ns04 says hi!
