Red SLR Posted November 1, 2000 Share Posted November 1, 2000 Are you getting a K to go in your car??? Simon X777CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted November 2, 2000 Share Posted November 2, 2000 I bought mine from somewhere I can't recommend for just over 1000 UKP. Used a mag called Car Parts & Accessories Mart. Six months old with 5k on the clock. The reason I can't recommend them is that they must have dropped the engine, somewhere in transit, as the crank broke during testing. As this was outside the 60 day warranty things got a little heated. So byer beware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted November 2, 2000 Share Posted November 2, 2000 Try Exchange and Mart from the newsagents . Lots of breakers and engine suppliers - around £500 - £900 . Or why not consider the 1700cc yamaha ford zetec engine ?? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
