My old man has just replaced his engine in his 2.2. They not cheap and to find a good one is even harder. He paid £800 for the new engine from a guy in chesterfield. The bloke leaves the engines in the car and your welcome to hear them running.
Regards Ady

At that price it's almost worth thinking about getting an 'A' series 2.8TD to run about in while looking through the insurance disposal auctions for a good 2.2 to come up cheap, get that and ob the engine out of it plus any other bits needed to sort the original out and break whats left to get the money back.

Bonus is of course being left with a 2.8TD toy to throw about the lanes, P&P sites and for use as a spare.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here

Owning a 2.8 is a hobby in it's self...
