Car engine makes a bang noise, smoke starts coming from engine, engine vibrates like buggery, all 3 pedals vibrate ilke mad.

Radiator is fine, but the water temp is right up, car still drives but is seriously overheating.

A few days earlier a mechanic had the rocker cover off, didn't re-seal, oil spewed out of engine, smoke everywhere, car undrivable, went back, sealed properly after many arguments about getting the car recovered, now this!

Sabotage? Something more simple? Suggestions?

Not my car btw, another VTS

Still drives. Not sure myself, I am also guessing as I've not seen the car yet

Only one way to find out though craig, drain it and then whack the thermostat in some boiling water
