Sounds more like rebuild time, instead of selling time. ;)

i mean sell broken as i have no funds to get it fixed :reallymad

You will be better off to fix it then sell it if you can get the funds, broken 7\'s dont go for much.

Get it check first.

Gman

If u can get to the Manchester area see Pip at WGT

did you get it fiexed and how much did it cost

J4P RX

I will be getting it fixed, as if you try to sell without an engine your just going to be stung a lot on price.

As for cost, it will depend on what needs replacing, where you go etc.  Its a rebuild.

sourced a 35k engine  so it should be in good nick

J4P RX

Why? :(

Mileage counts for very little with these engines I personally believe. Its how its looked after.

I would seriuosly consider trying to stretch to a rebuild (Tim at RX Motors will probably be the cheapest at a guess) rather than hope to get lucky with a used one. Used motors arent generally that cheap, at least if u get one rebuilt u know its gonna be warranteed for 12 months or whatever and thats a great selling point if you are going to get rid...
