so I phoned these people up ....

Indeed it is £1,195 but only if your old engine is "servicable" ... However if there is anything wrong with your engine then a surcharge does apply ... which is an extra £500 for a sh&gged crank !

This begs the question ...
1. What does "servicable" actually mean ? It seems to imply servicable=not broken !
2. Why would anyone want a replacement engine if their current one is "servicable" anyway?
3. What all this about then ?!

Yours still sobbing into my pint ....

also just had a chat to my local garage and they have quoted me £200 to fit it
i think at that price i wont get my hands dirty

btw what is a 2nd hand mint condition turbo worth?
i might sell it to pay some towards the fitting?

regards
