My son (15) just bought cheap a 2002 MG TF 160 from the head chef at pub he part times at allegedly ignition lights come on but car wont start, power to starter and ignition feed so pulled starter and braid from solenoid to starter burnt so replaced starter and clunk... ahah,seized engine rechecked water and oil ,oil appears ok and water although tastes sweet was clear so thought possible gasket issues and locked cylinder,pulled plugs, one was wet and later dried filled all plug holes with diesel and left overnight jacked up one wheel put in gear and put breaker bar (and scaffold pole on hub nut!!) absolutely solid, meantime chef pleads ignorant so no pointers there,(bit odd doing a work mate, lesson learnt for son dont trust no f===r)
Anyway any tips / tricks to proceed appreciated before it becomes a breaker
