Well i got some bad news for me but i thought i would share it. When my motor is cold it makes a slight knocking sound when the revs pick up just above idle round 1000-1200. u can only really hear it if u got the bonet popped and u are infront of the motor. Anyhow i told one of the mechanics i work with about it so i showed him the noise and he said " dude your about to spin a bearing". So that wasnt great news but then he said it could be the balancer or a heat shield. ANyhow i had to take my car to this mechanic place coz of a warranty thing and i got him to listen to the noise aswell and wizz bang he said the same thing. Stuffed if i know what im gonna do. I mean it could last for a while but then it might not, engines are unpredictable as im sure u all know. It sucks coz i have only had the car for 2 months and i already have troubles. Combination of little ones and big ones. Maybe i just bought a dud. i can only just afford the car as it is. I tell ya i just wasnt meant to have an easy life.

same thing happened to my mums car. Had to buy a new engine cos she kept drivin it around with the ticking noise problem. If that is what you are talking about i wouldn't drive it till it's fixed.

Tough luck man, my mum knows how you feel.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
