New Engine and power steering

[mcvdt6]

I am looking for a recon 1248 diesel engine for a punto multijet 53 plate and also my power steering light came on just before i blew the engine. If somebody could advise me where to get the parts at a reasonable price i would be forever in your debt

Many Thanks dt

You may be able to get a low mileage one from a breaker. Remember this same engine is also in a number of smaller Opel/Vauxhall vehicles and perhaps in some Suzukis as well.. Of course you may want to change the cam cover for a Fiat one ....

You may like the 75 or 90 HP units better than the 70 HP. I'm driving an Opel Meriva as a replacement for my totalled Idea this week. It has the 75 HP version and it's not bad considering the weight and frontal area it has to deal with. Not as much fun as my 1.9 was though.
