May do.



Well tonight has been eventfull. Basically it died and has gained a new life.
Coming back from a tappas restaurant with my friend(she always seems to be in the car when it fucks up haha) got almost back to mine and lost power,wouldn't rev until eventually it stalled.
A panicky call to Niall, and checked the engine over and nothing obvious. It would crank but wouldn't fire.
Anyway I pushed it off the road and them a copper turned up. Asked what was up. Told him pump wouldn't prime, but it would crank. He tells me to jump start it. *facepalm* anyway he fucks off and I decide to poke the fuel pump. Plug was slightly loose. Connected that and heard a splurge, jumped out the car to find a puddle under it, had a look under and the bloody fuel filter had become disconnected. Ffs connected that up. Fires up first time! Right. Panic over!

Don't think I can afford this engine change just yet. Need to stick a clutch in at the same time, plus I want to do hg and Cambelt when fitting the new one. Don't think I can stretch to buy the new engine, Cambelt kit, hg kit and a clutch kit Sad

Aah dude that sucks Sad

Thing is if you get an engine with known history, although you'll want to change the cambelt/hg for ease, you'll keep the car going just putting it straight in. Otherwise you're gonna be skinting yourself, and also running the risk of your existing engine throwing a rod whilst your new engine is in bits with the hg/cambelt being done.

Imo you'd be way better off waiting before doing the hg/cambelt anyway, especially if you're having to skimp on quality/new parts to do the job...

Thing is it would be quality parts id be doing it with. That's why I can't afford it. Plus I'm not putting the engine in without doing the Cambelt at least. And that's £100 on top of engine price, and tbh while it's out it definatley needs a new clutch as mines f*cked haha

The engine is actually complete with gear box and alternator, etc. I think it needs new cv joints though

Cv joints were bust on that engine Tongue definatley ripped it apart. It's cool I kinda want to take it off the road. So I can fit all the shinies I have and not worry about if I can't do it in a day.

A new engine won't be going in till the new year at least due to lack of funds

If you could, not sure wether it's a loose connection or a tempormental motor. Either way it's pissing me off. £50? Fack off, settle for a reach around?
