Hi Ian i'm in greenhithe but would need to take engine to canterbury,
what sort of condition is it in would it pass emmission tests?
aah cool, greenhithe isnt that far away :)
it was running fine when i took it out. the only reason i changed it was because i aquired a very cheap tdi engine, too cheap to refuse.
it passed its emissions tests with no problems, and as my series is a 1980, it had proper tests, not a visual one.
it does leak oil a bit, and isnt exactly clean looking.
its definately not seized, you can turn it over by hand.
i think one of the downpipe to manifold studs sheared off as i was taking it out.
if you're interested i'll strap it down to the pallet its on and see if i can run it up. so you can see it running
