Background:- just coming out from a 40kms zone going to 100kms my car wouldn't kick into gear ..rev's over 6000. We hadn't reached 100kms/hr, my husband took his foot off the accelerator and then the was this grinding noise and then this almighty KABOOM. BELLs and lights and the car stopped. Eventually, in the limp mode, we got it back to the house. Towed away to the holden dealership bought from as only 2 weeks ago they had replaced the timing chain.I spoke with them yesterday and I was told the car was ok running fine preliminary tests not showing up anything.My comment was a car doesn't stop like that for any reason. Today the have said it's not all good news well it is for them, it's not the timing chain. The sump is ok but they think it's something to do with the bottom end and the won't be able to know what until next week. So I'm more or less looking for ideas and rough costing and should I keep this car.....the timing chain was an issue at 68000kms it has 90000kms on the dial it has been well cared for....so I'm just perplexed ...thoughts appreciated
