Just wondering if series 1 and 2 exhausts are the same as i replaced my series 2 exhaust with a series 1 today and realised the resonators are a little different. Later on the engine light came on im guessing maybe because the exhaust was maybe sitting for a little and the o2 sensors have been...

In the last week or so I noticed a rattle on acceleration. Booked it in for a service and a check and the mechanic said it was a "Con rod issue", which I'm assuming means connection rod. He said the engine is on it's way out and it would require a rebuild to fix that issue. At this stage what...
