We normally sell GSi/GTE engines for around ?100 dependent on age/condition etc.

You could swap your engine in around 3-4 hours depending on how handy you are, it takes a good hour to get the old engine out.

You will need the new engine, loom, ecu, F13CR box and all the ancillaries that go with the engine.

It is very straight forward.

looks like Ive got a 1400 astra engine so if its in then it'll be fine. You'll need a little extra bit for the dizzy though.

?220's not bad for a 1600 engine - depending on mileage etc...

i forgot to add the reason why engine let go was due to me changing up to third and puttining it in first instead and let the engine rev to 8.5k not good, and im a muppet :oops:

hello.... 1600 8v engines from ?100-120 depedning on age and condition, we dont buy cars with over 100k miles so all in reasonable to excellent condition.

No unhappy customers as yet, in fact quite the opposite!

have sold 5 engines in the last 8 weeks!
