new engine shot

(1/2) > >>

Guardian.:
my new v8 i was well chufed with is shot.
3k for a new lump and the big or little end is knocking like a very knocky thing :(
he dont even seem that bothered, so could be some hands of the never hold a spanner again type comming soon!
not gonna name names just yet, hopefully for his medical insurance he will sort it without any aggro, but the past 2 months ive had im kinda looking forward to releasing my frustration.

paul_humphreys:
Did you get it from close to me?

Paul

Guardian.:
no, close to me though.

Thrasher:
By "new" - do you mean, crated and unused, or rebuilt and fitted? Big difference between the two.

Guardian.:
ITS A FULLY RECON UNIT AND FITTED BY A GARAGE (WHO ARE TOP CLASS), YOU WONT GET A BRAND SPANKER FROM THE FACTORY FOR LESS THAN 3K.
AND YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE, BUT EVEN SO A FULLY REBUILT BY A PROFESIONAL ENGINE BUILDER SHOULDNT START KNOCKING AFTER A THOUSAND MILES.
 I VERY NEARLY BOUGHT A SECOND HAND ENGINE, BUT THOUGHT ID CUT OUT THE RISK OF BUYING A DOG, AS I HAVE NEVER BEEN THAT KEEN ON REBUILT ENGINES AND GEARBOXES.
I WILL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SE WHAT HAPPENS, IF IT GETS CHANGED THEN HE WILL NOT HAVE A DISABILITY,I MEAN PROBLEM.
