Well just found out today that one of my conrods are bent aswell :ragin:

So i think its time to look for another engine, Reconditioned would be better.
Anyone got any ideas or a reliable company i could purchase one from, already looking at a couple on ebay.

Cheers in advance for any help folks :yes nod:

Nightmare mate.

Looks like it could work out cheaper than fixin my old engine, nothings been done to the old engine yet thankfully. Just stripped down.

Not bought any new parts yet.

You gonna get an S engine, or is that too much work?

Just finished speakin to the wife bout it an decided against it. As good as it sounds its to much.

Almost double the price to buy then a fair bit of wiring, New bonnet to fit intercooler or £900 to get a front mounted intercooler to keep cooper bonnet(SLEEPER :D) There is alot to change.

This would keep people wondering

Try S&I Thomson at Galashiels as well. They often have minis in breaking.

Still a few engines for sale on E-Bay but at the prices wanted would it not be cheaper to sort your own engine at least that way you know that everything has been sorted on it and also exactly whats been replaced plus it saves answering any awkward questions on selling it ..

It was going to cost nearly £1300 to repair my engine :frown:

Now managed to find a complete car pretty cheap an atleast i can break it and sell alot of the bits to get some money back :thumbs up:
