I am looking for a 3.6 tdv8 Engine complete, or a damaged car with a running engine to break.

Please drop me a PM if you can assist.


Thanks

Hope its for a project & not a failure in your ownership Les!

its a Rangie I bought with a top end knock, that runs perfectly, but has a knock, its not injectors or Knock sensors and its hard to be firm on where the knock is from, so if someone had an engine it would just be a simple repair or we will keep digging till we find the cause or I will break it, which would be a shame given its a clean motor.

Ahh, the one advertised of fleabay i presume? Yes saw that but was soon away on holiday etc etc

yes its the same car, just need to fix it or break it..

My brother in law put in an offer but I guess you beat him to it.

From the looks of it, it would be a shame to break it. Would you consider moving it on if you can't find a resolution? Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Yes potentially. It's a good motor good history and clean and tidy, I knew the last owner hence took it on.

if you or anyone else who has contacted me, has an interest in the car "as is" with a knocking engine which is coming from the right hand bank, it still starts runns and would drive. please get in touch, I am happy to pass it on for what it now owes me which is around £7000, with the new parts as fitted, other wise we will crack on and pull the unit on Friday then embark on a rebuild of the engine or replacement if I can find a trusted Exchange engine builder!

To be honest, I doubt he would throw £7k at a car that cost £5k, or less and still has the same issue as it had when you bought it. I appreciate you've fitted several parts in an attempt to track the problem down, but nevertheless, the problem still persists. Now, it could be that it's nothing serious and at £5k, it was worth a punt, but at £7k, its starting to look less attractive.
I wish you luck in whichever path you choose  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue
