Has anyone got a good spare M47 engine? **ACQUIRED**
Hi.
My Rover 75 claasic SE Diesel's engine has just died. Oil starvation caused the bottom end to go. Crank re-grind and new shells may fix it, but I am currently thinking a new engine is the way to go as the rest of the car, even though it's done 100k is in good condition. I would like a new engine ASAP, has anyone got one for sale? Scouring internet at the mo, but would prefere one from a trustworthy source. I would prefere a low millage one in known good condition. I intend to swap it myself any advice from those that have done this before would be appriciated. |
