if you are still looking i have a short eng from my 2002 wrx for £500 .....which is spot on ..... chris

 

I HAD AN ENGINE BLOW THE BIG ENDS LET GO. i CAN SAY FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE THAT IT IS AGOOD IDEA TO MAKE SURE THAT WHO EVER REPAIRS/SUPPLIES THE NEW ENGINE FITS IT TO THE CAR AND THAT YOU GO FOR A GOOD TEST DRIVE BEFORE PAYING UP.MAYBE GET IT INDEPENDENTLY INSPECTED BEFORE YOU PAY UP TOO.
IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENT PEOPLE FIT THE ENGINE TO WHO SUPPLIES THE NEW ENGINE THEY WILL BLAME EACH OTHER IF THERE IS A PROBLEM I.E "OH THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NEW ENGINE" OR "THEY FITTED IT INCORRECTLY" AND YOU WILL NOT KNOW WHO IS LYING TO YOU. I HAVE BEEN IN THIS POSITION AND I NEARLY ARRANGED TO HAVE THEM ALL BEAT UP!! AS THEY REALLEY PI$$ED ME OFF!
THER ARE ALOT OF VEWY DISHONEST PEOPLE IN THE TRADE SO BE VERY CAREFUL.
TSL AT NOTTINGHAM HAVE A VERY GOOD REPUTATION.
I HOPE THE PEOPLE WHO SOLD YOU THE CAR GET WHAT THEY DISERVE ONE DAY!!
