Subject says it all - major service with belt done 4k ago, nothing reported. Now its got a big end rattle. This was one of the dodgy batch of early 08 engines, but it was given the all clear by the dealer at 4k.
Its not audible inside the cabin, but readily detectable with the bonnet open. All but the last 3 services with the dealer, last 3 with M&L.
Any suggestions please - in melbourne. One estimate of $8k using a new (or maybe reco - not clear) bottom end with my accessories.
Thanks
