Yeah it looks like its coming from the box, the speedo is still working so hopefully not the diff, taking it to the garage tomorrow for the diagnosis.

cool, how much do you want for it and where abouts are you based?

Im after either a 2.0 bottom end or a full 2.0 engine, I am not concerned with the condition or milage as I am having a full engine rebuild done on it.
Any help would be great.

does anyone know the price offered at hill power for the 2.0 litre conversion....? I have tried emailing from the website but the page is not loading!

no its not essential, I think a new 2.0 would be the better option, can you do this? if so what price am I looking at?
