Looks like the end for my 190se
 

As some of you have read, my 190se has a dead engine which I cannot afford to repair. (have a look at the freelanderspecialist,com thread) It is, in its current condition, not worth very much at all despite having lots of extras etc. I am seriously thinking about donating it to a worthy member on here if anyone is interested?:mad:

Speak to one of the traders and get a good second hand engine for it

I would be really interested!!! Mine has similar problems!

frazzletc has a zt for sale with a spare engine zt190 that he bought from mgstephen.look up the thread its for sale in members cars. you may be able to twist his arm or at least talk to him he seems a fair guy. apart from that sit and wait .... just like me !!

I'll take it off your hands worse case!

But yeah talk about getting a second hand engine! they can even be had from eBay for cheap.
Find a full car on eBay for cheap and just remove the engine, the 180 or 190 motor will do.
Even the 160 will do as you can swap your cams over when it goes in to the 190 after a belt change/water pump etc.

I think scrapping a car because the cost of repair is greater than the (current) market value is folly.

If the cost of the repair is less than the cost of the replacement car I know what I'd do.

Really sorry to hear of your problems Will:eek:

Knowing that it is a really lovely car I do hope something can be done for it Sir.
