Has anyone got a good spare M47 engine? **ACQUIRED**

-Joe · 7th December 2008, 18:54

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.

There was a crash damaged 54 Plate CDTi on Fleabay last week with only 7k on the clock!
Last price I saw it at was £1200:xmas:
