Erniedaisy: please give some more information on how you solved the crankshaft problem with your Picanto. In Holland KIA tries to let us pay 1.000 euros for the repair of their faulty crankshafts. Dutch consumer TV VARA/KASSA is now looking onto this problem, and your case could be useful. See:

Forum Dialoog / Vara Kassa-online

Thanks!

if the crankshaft has for some reason possibly be design or blockage not been lubricated properly it can wear out. also if you drive the car hard and did not run it in then this too would wear it out. £1000 seems a fair price for a new one. The whole engine needs stripping down to replace it.
