its the coil pack type innit

tbh i'm surprised thats at the price it is, the 3b that went for £310 the other day was a steal compared to this one that needs a lot more spent on it.

Got a feeling there might be some dodgy bidding going on.

maybe,but the head with all that is attached to it is worth more than it is atm(£415),presuming its in good nick

Looks a bit rough from the pics, Anyway I managed to get a complete engine running when removed for £675 so well happy. Just hope it's as good as the man says other wise the credit card will be cancelled pretty sharpish

I don't think that is expensive for all that?

[Rikki Kitto]

It's good news really just means I will recover more than I thought from my old engine, happy days

Card payment cancelled, engine didn't even turn over with a bar on the crank. Give the man his due no qualms, just said sorry and he would refund straight away and have the engine picked up again.

Very frustrating though waiting for an engine that's f*****

just read this, considering the fact that it has all sat for the last 4 years in the garage, it is no surprise that it is seized. people need to properly store engine parts or they get ruined.

Bit misleading sorry, I didn't actually buy this one got mine somewhere else just used this as comparison. The one I bought was stood for a year but still in the car.

i once bought a Rs2 engine done 65k and had been in a garage for a few years,cost just over a couple of grand off flea bay without even hearing it run.
sometimes you can just look at a engine and straight away you can tell whether it a runner or not

thought you said the engine was running when removed,did you not hear it run?

Sometimes you just gotta trust what people tell you, unfortunately this time it was misplaced trust. No worries though fella happy to refund without any grief.

NO probs mate sure the guy thought everuthing was OK, he maybe put his trust in someone else like me, like I said he's refunding so no harm done just a bit of wasted time
