Hi, I Ran my 67 beetle out of oil 2 years ago! oops! I could kick myself as she was going a dream. I stopped when i realised something was wrong. The RAC came to the rescue, filled me up with oil and i went on my way, he said i might have stopped just in time? she ran ok for about 2 weeks but was making funny clanking noises, then one day i lost power and the car died on me :( i havent used the car since, as most people have said New Engine! and i just didnt have any money at the time. I want to get her back on the road now. Anyone any ideas of cost? do i need new engine? If so where's best to get one in cambridgeshire area? and can anyone recomend any garages? Would be most grateful for any advice, many thanks :wink:

He's up in Stamford, Lincs. 01780 756883. Or perhaps Rob could suggest somebody in the Cambs area?
