When vauxhall said they will replace the engine, they will only change the block. source one from a scrappy. | |

I'm 19 and changed my engine with a little help of my dad in a day. We didn't use a crane, just a huge troley jack we lent of the mechanic next door. You just undo all the bolts supporting the engine/gearbox, lift the car high enough to drag it out from under. | |

A Vuax engine isnt new anyway, its a reconned head with new ancilleries etc. and Its an exchange item so you will need to give them your old one | |

might be possible i know a couple of people with a crane but not sure if they would have the right knowledge or the spare time. | |

Vauxhall have told me that my engine is fuc**d and needs replacing. they will charge £1700 for a rebuild or £2000 for a new engine. Another garage has said it might not need replacing, but it sounds rough as f**k and they didn't seem to know what the problem was. Might be the gasket on the manifold accoding to vaux, but they say the clyinder head needs to come off to find out what the problem is (they changed there story about replacing the engine for £2000 when i told them i was getting a second opinion). |
