Hi all,

My engine is a bit goosed and will cost a bit to fix.

So does anyone have an engine that I could put in a series 3?
Must be in good condition not too expensive and in Scotland
or know where i could find one.

Any help would be apprecited.

ive got an engine (or two) in scotland, one is an ex mil 2.25 pertol, was using a bit of oil, so ive replaced the head gasget. and should be ok. the other one is anouther 2.25 petrol, but in bits, all there. something to do on a wet day, £50 the pair.

it wasnt leaking oil it was using it up, hence why i replaced the head gasket, apart from that it is ready to drop. only after £30 for the complate engine. also i am only an hours drive from glasgow. :)
