1.8t engine wanted.
I’m looking for a 1.8t engine. Preferably in working condition.

Oh no Bob, that's not good news. What's the issue with Bananas?

I’m just after an engine for when it is needed. Banana is still with the garage.

That's a good bit of strategic thinking / planning, Bob.
However, let's hope that it goes into, and then stays, in mothballs. Regards Mike

You just missed out on the one Gary (Lovel) sold recently. It was like new. Rebuilt from scratch.

Bob, don't ignore the whole working vehicles, if you have somewhere to store and "play" with it. There are quite a few MOT failures out there.
Certainly an interesting project.. |

The plan is to have the spare engine rebuilt along with the gearbox. I have loads of storage space. Once I have sold the Bear then I'll buy a complete 1.8t.
