    VT V6 , VERY rough noisy idle, won't run/rev

    It might might only need a pair of reconditioned heads to get it running, but that would probably mean that you have spent more on the car than it is worth. Plus you dont know what else is about to let go on it

    VT V6 , VERY rough noisy idle, won't run/rev

    I would say the valve has hit the piston when the spring broke and is now bent. Only one cylinder looks to have good compression so i wouldn't bother spending any more time on it unless you really love the car

    If you haven't got a compression gauge you could always hold your thumb over the spark plug hole while someone winds the engine over on the starter. This way will at least tell you if you have some compression or not. You could compare it to other cylinders to see if it feels about the same. It...

    I didn't mean a bit of spring could go back through the intake. I meant air pressure from the cylinder could fire back through the intake if the valve stays open because of a broken spring.

    If it was an intake valve spring that broke then it could have fired back through the intake and blown a vacuum hose off or damaged the air flow meter. I would be checking for vacuum leaks first

    Might be a broken valve spring. Take the rocker cover off and have a look

    loud engine knocking sound help.

    If you can get your hands on a borescope then take the spark plugs out and check to see if one of the pistons is shiny from hitting the head. It sounds like it has spun a big end bearing.

    Takata Airbag Safety Recall (global)

    The companies that made these cars should have to remove these faulty airbags and let the cars drive around without them until a suitable replacement is available. It would have to be safer to drive a car without these faulty airbags.

    VT super v6 fuel consumption

    I think most of your problem will be from running low octane fuel, but someone could have changed the diff ratio too so your engine is doing more revs on the highway. What revs are you doing at 100 Kph

    Upper radiator pipe blew, engine now missing

    If it was a head gasket or cracked head the problem would be there all the time. It sounds to me like a coil getting hot and breaking down.

    Its not only the US supplying arms to the Saudi's. The Al Yammama oil for weapons deal still exists between Saudi Arabia and Great Britain. Money from these deals has been tracked back to people who fund and arm ISIS. Prince Charles is involved in these arms deals and has said that he is...
