A full rebuild on an Mi costs about £4K to do properly, so £400 for a used engine that will almost certainly want a rebuild (well, I wouldn't fit a used engine in my car without a nut and bolt rebuild an...

Not sure I'd say it looks a good un TBH.
I suspect the reserve will be around the £400 mark, which is too much for what it is IMHO.

Those wheels are horrid, although if the engine works as it should it could replace my spare I've just had nicked.

It's got donor stamped all over it TBH.

No worries mate.
I may even find some time to bring one down if I have a servicable unit. It's been fricking ages since I've been to the best county in the world.

That stuff on BXC is way out of date, I think thats 4 or more years old now, so nowhere near that many will be left.

Erm, I have a couple of ABS O/S shafts, but whether they are actually anygood is another matter altogether!

Yes they're rather extortionate!

Happily the damper I got from you now sits on the end of my crank and is doing a stirling job of stopping my crank from smashing itself to pieces!

I still have the one that came off the car, but it's mullered to hell and back.

But you could just get a top end kit, which will give you everything you need to do the job!

/\ what they all said!

Although you dont have to remove the manifold or the rad to get the motor out.
It's a bit more fiddly with everything in, but far from impossible.
I changed mine at the side of the road (in a wedding suit....)

What Timmo said about fitting a relay is very worthwhile.
