painful..... would this not be close to financially writing the motor off by the time its bought & fitted (which I'm sure won't be easy or cheap)??
He bought it rattling from Bmw, they offered a half price new in box engine with it too but he is just doing some looking about first. He will be able to fit it himself.
I’m pretty sure it was Chris Coleman or Bru Ferris that where breaking one
I follow both of them on Facebook and I’m pretty sure it was Bru, worth giving him a shout.
