Yes, I am well aware that I have faith in him. He has never let me down before and I suppose this is a challenge for him but I do not have many options in garages around here that I am aware of so maybe scrapping it is the easy way out, which I am trying to avoid and over relying on my garage I suppose.

If you are looking for an engine I can offer you the engine of my old 75 v6 auto sadly I don't have engine hoist so will need someone to help me get it out but the front end is already missing which should make things easier. The car now has 88900 miles it runs beautifully and it had a full service including spark plugs at 86200 miles and i have the full service history as well it also had the belts done according to the garage that maintained it.
Regards, Thanos. |

At last I have the car back and running.
I purchased a bare second hand engine but unfortunately my garage could not work on it and it was in the garage approx. 10 weeks due to hime being busy, mechanics off sick, on holiday ect. I could go on. Anyway I received the car back 2 weeks ago and running sweetly for a few days, had to travel over to Edinburgh to pick up a new telly and as I drove into the currys/pc world car park a guy pointed to my front as all the coolant was running out. Called the AA, they would not attend as the car was on a SORN unless I paid £145.00, I had put it on a SORN 2 days before as I read it as: the Sorn will come into effect after the tax runs out which is 31/11, but no the SORN is effective immediately, so a warning to anyone who is not sure like me. Anyway the AA did attend, but I had to contact the DVLA then hand the phone to the AA man who was told the car was in fact taxed. He rectified the fault, the bottom hose of the radiator had come off due to the securing clip not being in place! The car is running smoothly temperature gets to 84-87 degrees and actually stays there using the Ikp? on the dash. The only other problem is the door mirrors do not adjust, have checked and changed fuses under passenger footwell, but I don't care as the car is going well and it is Saved from the Scrappy. Now I can hopefully relax over the coming voting and of course Christmas and New Year which I am spending in Spain this year, so I hope my V6 saloon out there is going to behave itself. Many thanks to all for the comments and recommendations during this period. |

Usually the switch panel just needs cleaning to restore mirror operation - only a ten minute job and there is probably a 'how to' on here if you haven't done the job before.

The temperature problem I thought had been resolved, although I had a wee nagging in my head that it should be operating slightly higher. The garage obviously removed most parts off the old engine and I bought a timing belt kit, water pump and new temperature sensor, manifold seals so assumed all would be ok. Will contact my garage again tomorrow. Many thanks |

There is nothing wrong with your temperature!
With heater on and cold ambient, this is perfect!
