@ Markpro - Sorry m8, i missed your post...it snowed for a few hours and now its freezing on the (ungritted) roads...very dangerous...there are already cars abandoned on the sides of the roads...lol


If the repair bill was going to be about £500-600 i would have begged stealed and borrowed and got it repaired...

But i havent got much cash (well none at all..lol) because the wedding is only a few months away, so i think my best bet is to get a cheap car for a few months until the wedding is over with...

I can then give the car to the missus, for when she passes her test...(I will also save money on the petrol, so i could probably afford another Bravo in a few months the way mine drank the bloody stuff )

Finding a source of a 2nd hand 5 pot that will be guarenteed is impossible in mainland Europe including Italy.
The problem is that Fiat were not allowed to produce any more new units after November 2000 and therefore every knackered engine after that date had to be a reconditioned one. We had a laugh as we had a garage who contacted Fiat for one and they said that a new engine would be £1800 - but we couldnt have on, but a recoditioned one would be £1795!
You can get non guarenteed ones for about £1200 though if you want to risk it.
I have had a lot of people over tha past year contact me for these engines and if you can find one - snap it up!

Gutted for ya Daz. Seems like HGT's are dropping left, right and centre at the minute. Get it done though coz you'll miss it if you don't.

Shabash!

Smee, That engine is scrap! Trust me You'd be looking at a new crank, new ballance shaft, new rods, all new bearings PLUS no-one I know makes oversized pistons. All the bits you can't get need replacing.

DAZ be brave and get a 20v coupe engine. You would get about 200BHP at first then 230from a remap. Its just getting one that is a prob.

It's something I am wanting to do at one point
