2008 1VD-FTV engine dead or fixable ?

Hi all, so I recently purchased a 2008 1VD-FTV land cruiser as a project as as I was away my dad got it serviced and said the mechanic found some metal flakes in the oil, now i wish he told me that before as he decided to still drive it.

He drove it around for about 2 days and at the end of the 2nd day whilst going up a hill he stated the engine started to loose power and then just shut off.

It still turns over and can start but theres a loud knocking sound from the right side as you're looking at the engine and oil is just pouring out of that side.

I can also confirm that whilst the engine is off if more oil is poured in i can see alot of oil start to come back out.

Any suggestions on what could of happened would be great and maybe a suggestion on how badly damaged my wallet will be will also help.

Is this fuel tank savable?

Hi all so my mechanic has advised me to purchase a new fuel tank which I will be doing, however I am just wondering if I can restore this tank to either sell on or keep as a spare if I was to buy another mk1 mr2.

Average of 9,800 miles a year

Hi all so I have just done some digging and having confirmed my MR2 MK1 has been off the road since 2004 I was shocked too see how many miles the previous owner did per year in this.

Had he kept it on the road I wouldn't be surprised to see this become the highest milage mr2 in still good condition.

M62 speed cameras

Hi all so i have been driving alot recently on the M62 from Huddersfield to Bolton and I decided to just join the que of cars in the fast lane and quickly noticed that I was doing just under 100mph with them all.

Is there no speed cameras on the m62 until the blue notice boards come up as thats when they all slowed down.

Theme park ride helped ????

Hi all so i have had tinitus for over 2 years now and have gotten good at ignoring it and just have a few issues every now and again during the night. however a few months ago I went to a theme park (alton towers) and after going on every ride and heading home i laid in bed and noticed my tinitus had reduced.

I though it was just a temporary affect from all the forces from the day but now I lay in bed today still with almost no tinitus noise from my left ear and it feels like all the noise is now on my right side. Also if I try to make my tintis louder it no longer reaches the loudness I could get it too and I only notice a noise increase on my right side.

I dont think I have lost hearing on my left side as I can still hear myself rub 2 fingers next to my ear.

Any input into what could of happened would be great

Hi all so im currently restoring this mk1 and im just curious to know how much they are worth (UK prices) when the underside has been restored and also a fresh paint job is done.

Pervious owner has the car since 1998 and its a 3 owner car with 160000 miles.

I only ask as I plan on restoring it either way and keep it for a long time but im unsure if i should have a £2500 budget or a £7000 budget.

The £7000 budget will basically be a professional job and £2500 would be me doing most of the work
