FWIW if you want to keep the same engine check the cooling system, turbo boost pressure and oil supply. If you want to replace the engine then I believe the same one was fitted to the Rover 825D - though that is a FWD car so you'll need to swap a few bits over! Darren |

Title: Re: HELP PLEASE Post by mazzy_j on Mar 27th, 2006, 8:59am If you do go for another engine i have a spare one i bought off ebay which was gonna put in my diesel estate which had a blown engine. But i'm thinking of breaking the car instead so the engine needs a new home. I paid £370 for it, was from a 97k mile car of 1997 vintage. Comes with turbo and everything. I have a trailer and can deliver it if required. Matt |
