The edit button disappears after 10 minutes. Maybe you have higher rank, I donno, you have a red "Nthusiast" label. But we young apprentices have only "Report" on left side (I don't wanna report myself, that's sick) and "Reply" on the right side (I don't wanna talk to myself that's sick too). An we have no "Like" thumb neither on our posts.

Hi again,
I hope you guys had a good Christmas/new year.
The I30 has been fixed and was collected on the 4th, the cause of my problems were what they called a kind of "blow hole" a fault in the casting causing coolant to leak into two of the cylinders if I remember correctly and I explained that right. (I have tried to upload an image?)
The fix for this has been a completely new engine and which luckily enough was in stock/delivered and has been all covered under warranty, I Spoke to one of the guys at the garage who dealt with my car and the job was apparently north of £7000.
Moving forward I have now got to run the engine in like you normally would but so far the car is completely different compared to when we bought it, the cold start and exhaust is louder than before and fires into life before was a bit lumpy, the engine is smoother and quieter and I haven't had any problems with it struggling to start like I previously had which was caused by this which asks the question the garage sold me a faulty car but how were they to know?
I must say though my confidence in keeping the car has been knocked a little I cant help but think what if this happens again outside of warranty having to take the brunt of that cost but things happen and I was very unlucky/lucky depending how you look at it as in lucky the quick turn around and warranty cover but unlucky in the fact things like this must be unheard of with the I30? and probably will not happen again.
Thanks everyone

Great result and amazing turn-around. Pretty much unheard of issue, but sh*t happens. Just upgrade / get rid of her before warranty expires. In the meantime, enjoy your fresh engine.
I was going to say fuel pump, but even if that failed completely it shouldn't blow the engine. Certainly sounds like headgasket now. Wonder if coolant was changed at service and a hose left off or something?
