Hi there,

Didn't know wether to post this in the Cento or Punto section.
I am after a Punto 75 engine (1242cc 8v MPI). Where can I get one in Yorkshire, the Midlands or Lancashire that is good value for money? Btw. 7 day autospares don't have any.

Also, what engine numbers should I be looking for so I can clarify it is the correct unit?

Cheers,
Gaz:cool:
 
mk2 isn't a 75. you might have issues with the bottom ends with that, with pulleys lining up and things not clearing the inner wing.

Engine codes are as follows (from Petes post in cento technical)

Punto 60, up to 1997: 176.B1.000
Punto 60, from 1997 : 176.B4.000
Punto 75, all years : 176.A8.000
Punto 55 1108cc engine up to 1997: 176.A6.000
Punto 55 from 1997 / all Cento 1108 SPI: 176.B2.000
 
cheers for finding that Gex;) :D . Was struggling to find it.
That engine is in Cleckheaton which is on my way to work. It might be from a late mk1. I'm going to enquire more. Could be a last resort. The head isn't as good on a mk2 engine neither. Not as quick due to emission control.
