Today i popped in to see him and they have performed a craniotomy on him and completely removed the left hand side of his skull. apparently he fractured his skull in three places and the subsequent brain swelling would have killed him without removing the side of of head. he was awake but his eyes weren't tracking together and I don't think he knew who i was.

the poor bugger lost his 9 year old daughter many years ago due to a terminal illness and both his sons have downs syndrome. his wife passed away last week and he fell two days before the funeral.

i went to visit him on behalf of my wives family and after briefing them of his condition, they didn't seem keen on visiting him due to the state he is in.

what the poor sod needs now is friends to support him and i hope they suck it up and go visit.

Crap. This puts misfortune into perspective. No need to cry over a knackered engine or a dent in your rear quarter when you consider misery of this magnitude. Hope the poor sod gets well and receives all the help possible.

My car is at the body shop having arches put on the back he's rang me saying it won't start anymore went there today too have a look it's was firing as if the timing is out checked it all and it was spot on took the top off to only see lifts smashed and valve springs off he swears he didn't rev it ohhhhhh sad times :/

what engine?

you might want to get some consumer/legal advice on this matter

It's only a 1.4sr getting new head gasket today check the valve isn't bent and sort it out later

I've had this ^ In a mk2 Gte Astra had nothing to do with revving it just failed and happened on start up in my case the cam shaft snapped in half but similar thing to what's happened to you it was left with someone else and thought it was poss them but it was only me who started and moved it these things can just happen
