when i was a mechanic i saw a guy who had cleaned the air filter on a escort diesel van with brake cleaner solvent stuff he then stuck it back in the
van and started the engine it went off like a bomb reving like mad he took the keys out and just stood there as the engine kept on reving higher and
higher until it threw a rod,i could hardly stand up for laughing.
i have also seen plenty of recked diesel engines that have blew up due to running on their own engine oil.

Drive off and BOOM 
I like that plan....... but can we substitute "engine bay" for "Pikey caravan"??
Am i allowed to say that?? 
Yes but only if there is a "pikey" inside or lots
And only if the caravan is covered in napalm along with the neighbouring ones

Remove the sump plug. Cut the oil presure switch wire if you don't want it to show.

Whilst travelling on the motorway change from 5th to 1st and release the clutch...
Whilst travelling home from london I saw the car in front of me do this on the M3... Got out to lend a hand, opened the bonnet and once the smoke had
cleared saw the conrod poking out the block.
Who the f**K tightened this up!

a handful of thermite in the air box (between filter and engine obviously)
would that suck in enough to work?

My grandfather used to run pollution boats and he told me about the time the "boys on the refinery jetty" gave him a bucket of Naptha to
clean the floor of the engine room after an oil leak. His deckhand duly did so without shutting the diesel boat motor down. Engine revved itself to
bits.

For stealth, just undo the sump plug a couple of turns, that way after they check the oil and set off, and eventually the oil pours out and the engine
goes a bit funny, you could also remove half the cam belt.
For quick, some sand in the oil?

Rewire the dash so that the wrong warnig lights come on, then do some thing nasty and watch them try and fix something that isn't broken.

While you're at it you could rewire the gauges so the engine fries while they think it's still warming up and they get clocked for doing
60 when the speedo says 25

Wouldn't you just love to re calibrate someones speedo?
Swap the Speedo and the Revcounter round, that could cause some confusion.

Or you could just give the keys to ex-F1 driver Johnny Herbert, he was really good at breaking cars

When the middlesex RS owners club used to have the annual big meet local to me, they would trailer in an old ford (last one i saw Mk 1 escort 1300)
remove oil/water start run at full chat and take £1 a ticket for times of complete failiure.
I had 1 minute 37 seconds for the escort, i was gutted when the official time was 1 min 35 secs
