Bought that engine for the punto 1.7td and collected it this morning! all looks good so far. My uncle that is fitting it was going to be doing it tommorow so ive been running round like a mad woman allday getting the engine and trying to get the car towed to him. Only for my uncle to tell me when i had finished that he wont be doing it tommorow so will have to wait till next sunday. Annoyed after all the effort but Hopefully it will be back on the road next week!
on another note, my Older brother travelled from wales today to look at my pug 306 that i blew up in the first place. Didnt even know he knew a thing about mechanics but he said he might be able to fix the pug so let him try. Didnt think he had any chance of fixing it all by the sound the engine was making and the smoke etc but if he wanted to have go, he couldnt make it any worse!
Well he spent most of the morning/afternoon on it while i was fetching this engine. He came up with its fixable! Apparantly ive only bent one valve. My list of parts to find are: camshaft, camshaft mount far left, cam belt kit, 1x valve and diesel filter housing. Once ive got them, he will fit them.
so if everything goes to plan, I may well have two working cars!
then i will have a dilemma as one of the cars will have to go to pay off the debt these cars have cost..........
