BAD NEWS GUYS

Looks like my life of pulsar ownership is short lived as stated in the description my bottom end bearing has spun so needs a rebuild. Something which I simply can't afford I got quoted £2000 to rebuild or £3000 to forge it I've sort of got the money in fact I have but I can't afford to chuck it into the car... Shame because I'd bought a load of bits for it was going to do it all properly and then this happens .... So looks like another one destined to be turned into bits! Thank you guys for all your help and I'm sorry another one is going to disappear off the road but it's taught me a very valuable expensive lesson. I got absolutely ripped off paid £4200 for it and had nothing but problems.... If anyone knows a cheaper solution I'm all ears but I can't see a way through it.

Was it the black one with purple wheels on eBay?

Sorry to hear of your probs pal, was always my biggest nightmare.

You could buy and fit good secondhand engine - see if Bob's got one, normally around c£800 quid?

Could you not consider rebuilding it your self? Not sure how mechanically minded you are but there are some very knowledgable and helpful people on here! And would save you a serious amount of money....

Never tried my hand at anything mechanical tbh but I could give it a go ! Appreciate the input and not sure if bob has anything in tbh he's away at the minute but I'll ask him when he gets back and as far as I'm aware myne was never on ebay and it has white wheels reg plate is J754HGF

Do you have any pics out of interest?

Of my car ?

Yes

It could be a relativley cheap fix if it hasnt damaged the crank ...

Looks really clean ...

Yes looks very nice, would be a shame to break it, have a word with bob or look into doing it yourself, once it's done and working properly you wouldn't regret it I'm sure

Not sure if any other damage has been done but yeah I'll consider fixing it thanks guys and yeah that was after a clay bar wax and polish didn't come up too bad at all

Keep us posted pal

*UPDATE* one of my good friends has just rang me and said me and him will rebuild the lump all I need to do is pay for parts and he won't charge me any labour and I'm short of work anyway I'm so happy might use this opportunity to forge the lump and fit the new clutch so what started as a massive negative has become a huge positive I'll keep you posted guys

Yeah keep us updated pete ..... sounds like you have revived the faith again

I have indeed quite excited now lol

Thats awesome news, it will be rewarding and you won't regret it if you get it back on the road . Just make sure if you aren't sure about anything during the rebuild all you have to do is ask, so many people here will have all the knowledge you need. Just don't do what I did years ago and get your apparently "knowledge" mate to rebuild it and it blows up within 100kms

Haha yeah thanks woody I will I'm sure I'll pull plenty of info from the forum during this build! You guys are great !!!!

Good news

And here is me thinking who might snap the wheels up lol, make a list of the parts for the build plenty advice to be had on here. What caused it ?

Back off johnny the hoarder

No more wheels for me i must have 40 odd wheels (not 40 sets )

I was thinking about the grill too! haha

Keep us posted man! im looking at stripping my motor and forging so ill defo keep an eye out for a thread

Great news! Keep us posted please
