New Engine!!?? V6

Post by dad102 » Fri Dec 11, 2009 9:19 pm

New Engine! :(
Been told our poor Bongo needs a new engine.
All oil gone out of engine in big leak.Garage says will need a new engine.
Can anyone give us an idea of a price for a second hand 2.5 petrol engine.
They have said they might be able to rebuild engine.
We are in Bristol and would appreciate any help. Really don't want to give up on our Bongo. [-o<

Big OUCH!! #-o

Seriously consider getting a rebuild if financially feasable.

Market value for a V6 lump is going to be over a grand plus swapping ancilleries, fitting etc . . .

& without history from what you get, it could all come full circle. :-k

Whats the story regarding the Big Bang?

Sharp intake sounds usual, closely followed by i have a nice car for sale round the back, i will give you scrappage for it :roll: could be a perfect opportunity for a v8 transplant if it were mine mr P
