The car is dead....
 

Well the verdict is out. No 4 piston is buggered and there is no compression in any of the front bank of 3 cylinders.

So i need help. I'm after either a complete secondhand engine or a bottom end from the head gasket down. If anyone can help then i would be most pleased.

Don't really want to have to sell the car but if i can't find an engine thats not gonna pull my pants down over the price then i'll have to.:cry::cry:

HEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPP............................ .....................

RSM all the way

ive read another of your posts but imo its your only option unless you know of another breaker

There was one on eBay that ended just the other night... and i don't think it sold. Thing is - i deleted the link from watched items this morning.

pm R1CSO as he obtained one for his 180 when it became waterlogged. Not sure on what he paid though, what figure do you have in your head Murray?

Sorry to hear that, but it wasn't looking too good from what you said.

Sorry its dead, but I'm sure that you can source an engine, wouldnt be the same not having to look in the mirrors to get out of your way.:wavecry::wavecry::wavecry:

:cry:

Complete engine .... £750 "buy it now."

Or can you do anything with a ZT engine ?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-MG-ZT-2-...1%7C240%3A1318

Is that in a grey ZS? AK Salvage?

'tis the same price BIN as the one i had a link to... If it is he might take a little less seeing it never sold first time around.

roverbreakers have them in all the time or if you want a good one then Reyland has a brand new one in stock , zero miles.

will a freelander engine fit. if not the rover 75 2.5v6 sells for next to nothing. a friend of the family brought a mint v reg one for £500 from ebay
