Removing this from the 405 i'm breaking, has 87k on the clocks, starts and idles perfectly, doesn't use excessive oil or water and has no (major) leaks - has a slight dribble from the sump plug. (needs tightening/new washer) Doesn't smoke.
Has no untoward noises, and was informed it was always a very well looked after car, in my opinion this engine will last many more thousand miles longer!
I know how hard it is to find a good running engine in this state after searching myself, not needing a rebuild in my opinion and i know how much a rebuild costs too, as i've just had one rebuilt!! -Hence this sale.
I have short clips of the engine starting and running, and it can be viewed running in the car for a short while before i remove it.
I'm situated in South East Herts, on the Essex border, close to Stansted Airport, between j7 and 8 of the M11.
If anyone's interested please get in touch either by PM here, or to b7bpt@hotmail.com.
Barry.
