Angry Disaster strikes again

In need of urgent help if anyone can help PLEASE

I,ve come to the conclusion that my 1800CVH engine is goosed, it appears the oil pump has failed BIG time & probably damaged the big end bearings & also no doubt knowing my luck lots of other bits too

My IVA is booked & so to save time I,m looking at replacing the whole engine rather than spend time ( I haven,t got ) & money repairing it I think it would be quicker & easier to just change the whole engine.

So.......if anyone has a decent CVH engine available then please get in touch, either to buy from you or even consider just to borrow ( get me thru the IVA test ).

AAAArrrrgggghhhhh this car is determined to test my patience .

cheers
andy
