Thread: just throwing it out there

  1. #16
    You can pick up a2.2 or a 2.8 turbocharged Isuzu diesel engine for about €1000,- with 50.000 mls on it.
    These engines are bulletproof thumpers!
    However, it's illegal to swap a petrol engine for a diesel in the Netherlands.
    You have to get your car aproved for the road by the government each year as soon as the car is 3 years old.

    pbkid,

    If you are going to part out, please let me know how much you want for the roof rack. I am very interested!

    Thanks,

    That really depends on the nature and extent of the failure. A reman is gonna be waaay faster and easier to do yourself, plus if you intend to stay with it, there is the warranty. Most remanufactured engines come with a pretty good one. That is also worth a few bucks for resale, as long as it can be transferred. Build it yourself and you get zero warranty, but more control of the parts used. As a tradein, it won't matter either way, and as long as it's running as it should, keep your yap shut. Don't you guys have dealers that scream, "PUSH IT,PULL IT, BLOW IT UP IN YOUR YARD,HAVE IT LAND IN OURS....7000DOLLARS FOR ANY TRADE!!!" I always wanted to roll in with one the complete wrecks in our yard, on the roll back, and start the games. Push the VX in, dressed as Berber nomads. Better still... pull it in with a donkey. Wear your best Jesus clothes. The possibilities for shenanagans are endless. Go reman. Good luck. Wayne

    Forgot to say, if you do part it ... I may be interested in the roller ( the shell minus the mechanicals) as may Joe Black. We are thinking in vaguely similar directions.
