Replacement engine from a scrap yard is about £900. As I said labour is about £350, new rod/used rod not that expensive. New gasket £50 new timing belt kit £90 (u'll need this on a replacement engine as well) Cost of repairing engine approx £550. Cost of new engine £900 + belt + fitting. Looking...
I did the same thing, only bent 1 rod! Engine out, changed rod, rebuilt and back in! U'll need head gasket and timing belt kit! May as well do them while it's out. I've a full set of rods with pistons. Give me a shout if ya need them or run in2 any diffs with the rebuild. Ur lookin at bout 350...
Could be your alternator, I doubt it's the battery as you said it's only a year old. As the alternator is what charges the battery I would suggest it's flat because it's not being charged by the alternator. Get a set of jump leads and a mates car and see if she'll start with a jump?
Doesn't look that bad, new bonnet, bumper should be ok, bit of plastic weld! Possibly needs a bumper bracket but ya won't know till you take it off. Take it the radiator nd all is ok?
Probably the opposite actually. Think it mite have been 2 tight. But when we took it off the inside looked different from the renault, there's a lip on the genuine 1 which in my opinion would help it seal better!
I couldn't get a gen renault filter for mine once, ended up fitting an after market 1. 3 weeks later it blew the oil out through the rubber seal on the filter. New engine later and I will never use a non gen filter again!
