182 Engine required!

[Portia44]

Hello, wanted to ask for some advice...I'm in need of a new engine for my 182, so far getting quoted about £475 to fit an engine as long as no probs arise while doing it! Need to find an engine complete with ancillaries so I don't get charged more for fitting...anyone know of any decent breakers or companies that might specialise in this? Thanks

Welcome to the club, Portia44!

Sign up on here. Will cost you £12, but you'll save that on an engine compared to ebay and there'll almost certainly be someone on here who will do the job for much less than £475 dependant on where in the country you are...

Hi thanks...excuse my blonde moment but where do I join properly...thought I had by signing up lol! Proving to be a mission to get my car sorted so any help from on here would be great! I'm in Cirencester /Swindon area

Haha found it...become full member flashing at the top....whoops!!

Spot on. Pay your £12 and get into the wanted section/ parts for sale. There's always cars being broken.

There's a few members out your way who will drop you an engine in for a few quid, I'm sure...

Fuuuuuuck! £760 is crazy money! Will find one for half that on here.

Lol how?! No ones answering me unless its got really high mileage or their far away!

Put a thread up in the wanted section.

Also, with these engines, I really wouldn't worry about mileage. As long as they're looked after probably, they get better with miles..
