Good luck with it mate. I remember seeing your old one at Thurrock services one time. Hopefully it comes out as good as your last!

Shame it was on the back of a recovery truck

Update : the engine is shagged got me ten miles up the road and the oil light flashed once heard a knock then the oil light flashed like fuck so i pulled over turned my car off and smoke mored out of under my bonnet,

so i am on the lookout for a new engine any helpers?

Big thanks to admiral insurance company who sorted my recovery out and my dad for helping me push the car to a safe place

what do i do?

Another sri 8 valve and midly tune it? or something different, budget for a engine and fitting is 500, so i need help lads a great start to the project
