Yeah, but how many days no then that are a yes now. As is 6 years extra significant. And what's happened to milages in that time; up is course, but at a slower rate?

To even up the numbers a bit with my valid statistics.

Got my rover engined S2 111S in June 2010 so after initial poll date, no HGF in 4 years of owning it, gone now so yes still applies.

Had a S2 yota for 2 years (same age 2004),
trouble free NO
engine blow up YES
cost lots more to fix/replace than HGF YES
Debatable whether oil starvation and/or low oil level caused it

Well after the 4th or 5th HGF (lost count now)... I've gone Honda.

So far... highly recommended!!!!!! v-tec yo!

What symptoms have you got as I'm counting the days for mine to go.

started off as the occasional bit of missing coolant, small bit of steam on startup when cold, so tried putting k-seal as a temporary fix as i use it every day. However, engine seemed to be hydraulically locking this morning, emptied a cup of water out of the bore of cylinder 3, then started the car ( assumed it had just leaked in through a small break in the gasket as it was sitting for a couple of days. Then watched as it emptied the entirety of the cars coolant out of the exhaust as steam.

Had a 111S K-series for a couple of years. Hammered it generally; many trackdays. Never missed a beat. Now have a Cup 220 and still miss the old one!

If you have ever owned a K series powered Elise/Exige did your car ever suffer HGF?
