took my car to this dodgey bloke yesterday morning at 9 o clock to get another engine put in. the car is a 1.0L 12V but the piston rings are shagged and gearbox and clutch, the engine that is going in is another 1.0L 12V, with gearbox. the guy said it should take around 3 hours. i kept ringing them, and the engine still wasnt out fo the car. finally this morning the engine has gone in. YEY its now all wired up, but they cant get fuel to the engine!



god damn it!!!!!!! i NEED MY CAR TOMORROW MORNING!! so i can get to blackpool!!!!

Should have done it yourself, doing a 1.0 12v to another 12v is probably the easiest to do.
