Just waiting on another recovery.

The wife drove it to her sisters, stopped for 5 minutes. Went to restart it and it's doing nothing. You hear a click from the relay for the starter but it doesn't crank. I'm getting the same generic non start fault code it had when the engine had blown up. As it was turned off willingly and sounded fine I'm hoping it's not a serious mechanical fault, just something silly like a bad connection on the starter motor.
The diagnostics show the high and low side on the starter are activated and the engine start parameter is enabled which makes me think that's all fine.
It all feels very much like last time, symptoms are exactly the same as when it was physically locked up with the cylinder liner so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned.

I was expecting another twist in this saga but not so soon. Hopefully a quick fix but please sell it on for your own sanity!IMG_20240514_091034334The wife drove it to her sisters, stopped for 5 minutes. Went to restart it and it's doing nothing.

t. As others have said, I hope it’s something simple and not the engine dying again. Escy said:

At this point in time, I think you’ll find that is a short circuit on the starter motor that has resulted in a fire…IMG_20240514_091034334The wife drove it to her sisters, stopped for 5 minutes.

I'd have cut my losses and got shot of it rather than stick another engine in - but now it's in and running, it's a different matter: Selling now just crystallizes the losses, and switches you into another moon-mileage car that's truly an unknown.
