only round his yard as no mot

thanks to you both didnt expct such a prompt answer lol

No probs

Good Call!
You should be able to get a good 2.2 engine for that sort of money.
I had a 2.2 rebuilt (Linered,rebored,new bearings and oil pump) for less than £500....... might be an option?

Better the devil you know as they say,
And as I say, buying a second hand car is buying other peoples problems.

So how dead is your 2.2 engine?

con rod through the block and i now suspect the oil pump may of been at falt as thinking back the oil presure was good when cold but once warm droped allot .thanks to folks like your selfs Im enjoying learning and drift was right I am hooked on frounties so comfy and our kids are safe,
oh and when in 2nd low they seem unstopable , I should add we only had road tyres on when we were playing in the sticky stuff and did not get stuck
