Hello, 1st post here and I am gonna plunge you in at the deepend!

Brought a WRX 2004 about 2 years ago and last week I returned from a epic trip to Las Vegas :-) I went out in my car the following day and started to hear a noise from the engine bay that got worse so stopped the car and got the RAC to recover me home.

Then I got it low loaded to a garage and they took engine apart to find the bottom end has gone. (garage usually specialize in body work but I had body work done on this car with them so they are just trying to help me out.

Now the place is humming and haring over what its gonna cost me, and out here in the Fens (norfolk) there is not alot of places that can sort these cars out.

I am just looking for advise or anyone who knows someone or a reputable company I can get an engine from or have the car repaired at.

Any advice please as I am carless now :-( I do have a MX5 but even thats just failed the MOT yesterday to I am up the creek with a hole in my canoe and without a paddle at the moment!

 

worth traveling to get it rebuilt propely or you may end up back to square 1.

 

Exactly, Rather pay for a proper job, come to the best place I could think of for advice :-)

 

Mattyb@mbdevelopements (breaker on here) has a couple of long engines for sale.

 

Paul Finch motorsport in Northampton has a 2.0 forged engine for sale,could be worth a call.

 

You could give Tim Farmer a ring, top bloke, loads of experience and only just up the road from you at Long Sutton 077880 661866

 

He might be the man whos just been to look at my MX5! he had a scooby that he done alot of work on and was from Long Sutton!

If the same man he said he would help but very busy in the Summer with his Nursery business and other commitments
