The replacement engine has arrived! Guaranteed less then 30"000 miles on her.Stripped and fully tested before leaving the factory,the whole lot,including delivery,came to just under 650 euro! You wouldnt have a hope in hell getting the same deal over here methinks!!Now i just have to get her in! 
It will be like driving a new car.......YIPPEEEEeeeeeeee

That's great news Sean. Didn't you have your old one turbo enhanced?
You gonna let Fergus blow another engine on you or will you leave her standard.

Nice one! Are you putting it in yourself?
Might be an idea to change the water pump, timing belt, front and rear main seals before you put it in the car, much easier while its out.
Oh and easy to take off the pan + tap it for the turbo oil drain..

He is indeed putting it in himself with the guidence(???) of me, fergus and maybe dave.
Good point re belts etc. if its worth doing its worth doing right and all that.
Sean up to you bud.

Best of luck Sean putting it in. You should be ok with Scooby, Bertie, Mary H., Jordan, The Pope and Bin Laden helping you ! And the bird on the front cover with Stephen's car. I did wonder what her name is.....and phone number.
Very best of luck anyway and look forward to meeting you on a run soon,
Padraig

Yeah, good luck with the transplant Seán.Is it this weekend you're doing it?
At the risk of repeating myself, maybe you'll have it fitted in time for the Kildare/Wicklow run... It will certainly put it through its paces.
