Title: v6 engine swap
Post by: hawke113a on 07 October 2011, 13:38:26

Im in need of an engine swap as my 2.5 v6 has seized.I have been to a couple of garages and they point blank refused to touch it saying,and I quote "they a f*****g nightmare".Which to me is a worry.I will supply the engine but i need someone in the leeds area due to having to tow the car.At the min a general price for fitting but also i want all the gaskets and timing belt changing while the engine is out.I will supply these too.Cheers guys

I live in Leeds, and can happily suggest a couple of garages who might be able to help, they are not Omega or Vauxhall specialists, but I have used them for years and trust them completely.

PM me if you want details.

Cheers

A little difficult to change an engine at the side of the road or a driveway etc...

Not seen a 2.5 sieze up yet  ???
