Disaster strikes again

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?!

Good point Mark , cheers ,

subject to what engine I can get hold of ( hopefully Gus,s ) which may help as will be able to prove engine age etc, tho could possibly also confirm the engine number on the Burtons catalogue etc. otherwise..... I may as well install a Zetec engine from the beginning etc , but that is more expense & hassle at this stage I could do without

The engine , sounds awful, sounds like 70,s diesel , not showing much oil pressure at all & sounds like a bag of hammers rattling around inside .

someone on ebay 25miles from us is selling a 1.8cvh sierra with a 2.0lt zetec included on an engine stand as a project, no bids on it and it ends in 21hrs, maybe worth messaging him with a cheeky offer he can only say no!

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