F*RD F*Cus engine replacement
« on: 23 March 2010, 14:36:12 »
YUCK!

got a blown 1.8 53 plate tddi come in, needing an engine, found one realy good price with everything on the block incl turbo, fuel pump etc etc..
£450 delivered,  just dusted my engine crane down, now got to work on a horid bit of machinery with a funny oval shaped badge on it which doesnt have a griffin on it.  unusual but hopefuly will be a profit in the car once refurbished!
it had a new gearbox 4 months ago!!!   amazing what some forces spend on their cars sometimes.

Is it worth fitting another 1.8 engine to an Omega Simon? :-/ :-/

I would have thought at least a 2.2 would be better ;) ;)

the car has its bonnet off, and ready for work tomorrow.
Sadly with a lack of nice white saloon cars coming from the police due to vauxhall not replacing them with anything decent, i also have to dabble in such luxuries as ford focuses!

i would think so, a 53 plate with a replacement engine, pump, turbo and a paint job, got to be worth couple and half k to the right person.
It will be mint when its ready, an the engine has a 3 month warranty on it.

the cops had put a new gearbox in recently too

Yes Simon, you are lucky not to be receiving the Skoda's from Kent Police! ::) ::)  You would have to replace the gearbox on many of those if you did! :D :D :D :D ;)
