O7 Transit wont start

[Gordyboy40]

SOS, SOS, SOS, SOS!!
Hi all,... I have just purchased a lovely Magnum Grey 07 SWB Transit,... However!!!!, I purchased it for next to nothing, knowing that it didn't start!!!
I am trying to look at the engine just now, trying to start it, but it just turns over very week, clicks, then makes a whizzing noise from down below!!!
The chap I purchased it from explained that whilst driving along the road, there was a noise, then he lost power, he then popped the bonnet to find oil all over the drivers side of the engine, as if something had blown!!!

Probably got a melted piston! And needs a short engine

But check simple things first, like trying jump leads, trying to find the source of the oil etc

Hi ake,.. not what I wanted to hear, time to find a good diesel mechanic I think,... Thanks buddy.

Could be a popped out injector.

I've just been trawling the web for a recon/ second hand engine for my 110 T260,..."Computer says NO"
The engines cost between £1400 to £1900 quid,..OUCH!!!.
Does anyone have a 110 T260 Engine for sale,.. Preferably one that works!!
Let me know please.
Cheers Gordon.
