Driving up the M6 on Saturday night, temp gauge starts to rise and then fall. Goes up, but never into the red if I accelerate, slowly goes back to normal if I cruise. I decide to stop at Sandbach services to check levels etc. As I am slowing to go into the services, there is a click and the ignition lights come on, and one hell of a lot of blue smoke behind.
Engine spins freely, no compression at all.
Seems the waterpump failed and took the cambelt with it - am I correct in thinking this?
Also, will it be TOTALLY f**ked ? there was enough blue smoke, and oil everywhere under the bonnet for me to call the fire brigade to it
