Sorry, when i say stable i mean whats going to need to be changed along with the engine so that the 2.0 lasts more than a few days lol. I no that il need the shafts and hubs changing and some sort of engine mounting kit..What else would need to be done?
Oh yeh, mate of mine lives in hawarden. I live in Caergwrle so not too far

most people do a rebuild but even that is not a certainty as rebuild will only be as good as person doin it does it if u get me.
all i did was had visual checks on clutch/bottom end inspection/cambelt/water pump/auxillery belts/oil/coolant/oil filter/fuel filter maybe.
why engine is out clean engine bay, paint block of the engine black or whatever, then u may aswell replace all rusted screws with news ones
finally ull need,
engine/gearbox/loom/ecu
full fitting kit if u choose this method
some1 to do it or do it urself
then decent brakes i.e ate/v6/reyland/brembo
and some coilovers or decent spring damper setup
