I cant remember now as my iva was quite a while ago but dont you put the engine no. on the application? will fitting another engine cause you problems on iva day?

Cheers for your replies guys

Kev......thanks for your very kind offer, I,m hoping to swap like for like with another CVH but if I may can I put your offer of the Pinto as a "last resort" alternative please ? thanks mate .

TT......cheers mate, might be in touch subject to locating another engine .

Nath.....cheers mate, yes , that will come in handy as will no doubt need to swap engines.

Carl.....cheers for that , I,ve sent Gus a message so hopefully that might save the day .

Mark......yes I think it may cause me probs, but all I can do is contact them & explain the situation, hopefully they,ll understand & maybe let me carry on with the process although I,ll probably end up with a "Q" plate as i,ll be unable to confirm age of engine ( maybe ).

cheers also to Mike for an email of a possible engine available.

thanks guys.
Andy

You have to confirm engine age for your iva emmisions otherwise you will be tested on modern standards (so what ever you end up fitting get some proof of age)

Its dvla where you will get a Q if you use parts from different cars

Is it definately wrecked beyond help? ie no oil pressure and knocking its nuts off?!
