Hey driving today to go help a mate, engine rapidly started overheating whilst on motorway, i turned off the motor but not before i heard something go. What u guys reckon if the engine is seized?

Bother rebuilding or invest in a new car?
Open to suggestion, i just dont wanna keep having to fix it and spending cash.

:P Spare part's... :P

Does the eng turn over now?? have you tried re starting it??
When very hot eng's will start to seize up, doesn't always mean the end for em tho.

have you looked round for blown hoses or water leak's??

Got racq to have a quick look before they towed it off the motorway. He reckons the motor is rooted.

The Engine wont turn over. The starter motor is fine.
Havent been able to look seeing as i left the car and got a lift home.

Looking through your build it look's to be in Ok nic, I'd be inclined to fit another eng..
