Time has come and I need a smaller engine, Will take around 800 for the whole lot. Has MoT and Tax runs ok but wont start as the starter motor brackets have broken off!

Engine and wiring: 100
Gearbox auto: 100
Transfer box: 60
Wheels and tyres: 360 these are freestyles with bfg Mud terrains x 5
V8 back box full length standard only 4 months old: 10
Interior: 100 load cover doesn't match as its the 200 blue one, roof is only sagging where sunroof cutouts are!
Not sure on other parts give me a shout on here or on 01934834338.

Will also swap for a TDI with tax and ticket!
 
what year is it mate? would be interested in the lot, not for 800 tho, plus it would be a fair old run! recon i could bodge it to get it started??

Yeah it runs fine when started. Motor has lost its mounting brackets so jumps out but I am sure with a crow bar and some-one leaning on it you may get it started.

Hi mate how much for the air box? posted if possible

I have a standard V8 airbox about somewhere Ill check its complete and say if I 100% have it!
 
Is that directly part of the block ?

Yes ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21378146770.499652.jpg
 
create a new bracket and bolt it on via an extension to block or bellhousing if not strip and tig weld back together

then again a new engine would set you back £200 on ebay or less for a bare block!
 
If you where closer id have it. Why not keep and just part out on ebay etc, don't just scrap it! id take air book, power steering pipes box and pump if i was ever your way?

Aww shame! I need the money to buy a run around I have my house back and this thing crapped out on me! I've drawn the line at just repairing it! Shame but I am hoping to get a rotten 300TDI and swap chassis over early next year once my house is a home!
