Ste, I will be getting another 2.0 16v engine as soon as I can find one, could you tell me anything to look out for on the engine, any common faults or anything that I should check. Obviously, I wont be buying an engine unless I hear it running first, but I'm not a mechanic or anything, so I dont know how an engine should sound if it is on a bench or something!!!!

cheers

John

Nice car, what's the retail on that?

I don't any special valver tricks but take a plug spanner and have a look at all the plugs - should be khaki coloured. Beware oil black plugs. Look for excessive oil/water leaks between the block and the head. Service history of oil changes would help
