Hello,
does anyone know how much I should expect to pay for a 1.25 zetec
engine for an R reg fiesta? My dear little car keeled over, and the
local garage has said they will find and fit an engine for me, but
would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how much is a sensible
price to expect to pay (can't be as much as the proper ford garage
said it would be - £2,500! the car cost less than that 2 years ago!).
The mechanic said fitting it would be £150, which doesn't seem quite
enough to me - any thoughts?
Thanks

Last time I did something like that, I tried to find (not getting ripped
off!) another engine and was quoted upwards of £500 from local 'vehicle
dismantlers' Found a complete car for £100, MOT failure in adtrader and
swapped the engine over, then sold the good bits and scrapped the remains.
almost did it for nothing,
