[THE_Liam]

Lol piggy, this is in london near illford, kent is better, and liam dont think you want this one lol, window smashed light broken flat tyre bodywork kinda rusty and paint fading, dont even wanna talk about the inside

To be honest mate I'd only want the engine, box and mounts, rest would go over the weighbridge

Shame to hear the engines giving up the goose (or whatever that phrase it) , when you know what you're doing give us a shout I finish early on fridays so if you needed a weekends work

Cheers for that man. It's not giving up the ghost, it's just a bit tired after 135k. These engines are long-lived but they do start using a bit of oil at big mileages, especially 1.8 190E's because they get worked very hard in comparison to the bigger engines. And if I'm gonna swap, something more powerful, more economical or both wouldn't be a bad idea.

My friend has a c class with an om605 turbo diesel. Its really quite refined actually, despite being an old one.

That'd be the C250TD then I'm guessing? That's basically the same 5-pot 2.5 as the 190D has, just with an electronic pump and a turbo, very smooth engines that sound immense for a diesel. The OM606 is the 3.0 6-pot from the E300TD W202, the bug-eyed shape, apparently that's not hard to fit and can manage 250bhp and 400lb ft with minor mods. Not gonna say I'm not tempted, in a sub 1200kg 190 that would be immense
