F*RD F*Cus engine replacement
23. Mar 2010 at 15:36

YUCK!

got a blown 1.8 53 plate tddi come in, needing an engine, found one realy good price with everything on the block incl turbo, fuel pump etc etc..
£450 delivered, just dusted my engine crane down, now got to work on a horid bit of machinery with a funny oval shaped badge on it which doesnt have a griffin on it. unusual but hopefuly will be a profit in the car once refurbished!
it had a new gearbox 4 months ago!!! amazing what some forces spend on their cars sometimes.

Mar 2010 at 15:53 Is it worth fitting another 1.8 engine to an Omega Simon? I would have thought at least a 2.2 would be better

Sadly with a lack of nice white saloon cars coming from the police due to vauxhall not replacing them with anything decent, i also have to dabble in such luxuries as ford focuses!

Simon Omega 2 Ex Member	Re: FD FCus engine replacement* Reply #11 - 23. Mar 2010 at 22:26 i would think so, a 53 plate with a replacement engine, pump, turbo and a paint job, got to be worth couple and half k to the right person. It will be mint when its ready, an the engine has a 3 month warranty on it. the cops had put a new gearbox in recently too

Yes Simon, you are lucky not to be receiving the Skoda's from Kent Police! Roll Eyes

You would have to replace the gearbox on many of those if you did! Cheesy
