Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
Hmmm, even if I did put it back together it's still £220 to repair it but the garage down the road would be taking it off, skimming the head, cleaning out etc but it's already half done so they can't charge more for labour

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
What about coupe on here that does barras work, could ask him for a hand
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
Rather get it done at garage imo since I'll have a guarantee with it if anything goes wrong

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
Had an estimate of £500 to have the engine completely rebuilt, so I'll be going to PVS in a hire car
but will still be saving for the corsa to be repaired and back on the road in the mean time!

Betty The Blue Corsa
Don't have a garage to do it or a driveway since my dads old project is sitting on it
but think I'm gonna get the wheels off to give them a refurb in white instead of satin black maybe..

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
I'd have no way of getting there
I'm asking round for a bigger engine at the minute though

Re: Betty The Blue Corsa
Can get an engine for £100 off someone that's done 53k but need someone to fit it, anybody know someone?! Nearby to me! as I want it being done asap before PVS if it's possible otherwise a hire car is definitely what will be done on the way down..
