Then you will have a cvh for iva, a few sierra bits to sell and a zetec for your upgrade

Oooh Oooh, sounds like a plan do you have an ebay link or item number please Mark ?

I,ve been on ebay searching this afternoon & only seem to find 1.4CVH engines .

Sorry for asking ....been a long frustrating day


Edit.......just found the Ebay listing.

Thankyou Ayjay , thats very kind of you to offer , its precisely what my engine is running as too,

but it looks like Gus,s engine sale will save the day http://www.haynes.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=7502y

Thats what is great about this forum......everyone always offering help to fellow members

I really appreciate all the offers of help, thanks guys

Glad you are sorted
I hope Gus's engine solves the problem
Offer still open if things go avocado

Andy if you can't get that CVH for whatever reason I have my 1.8 Zetec you can borrow, with some ZX6R carbs, just waiting for my aluminium inlet manifold to arrive and then it should be sorted, except for the thermostat housing and megajolt. I've also got an engine crane now that you can borrow if needs be.

Probably more hassle than its worth for you at this stage, (especially as you may be sorted) but I have a 2ltr Ecotec sat in the garage that was going to eventually be going in mine, however with the current prices of Sierra's I may be going the MX5 route so it will be surplus to requirements.

Thanks for the offer Simon, very kind of you

I,m buying Gus,s engine , just trying to arrange a courier now .
It,ll be a straight swap, like for like & will drop straight in on my engine mounts so in the long run will save alot of time not needing to make new mounts / exhaust manifold etc .

thanks to all for all the offers of help

cheers
