he said it never missed a beet before it was broke, do you think they would give you any garantee, because it was being put in a corsa, or would they just blame who ever fitrted it? that is if any thing ever happend

easily 400quid with a few months guarantee.

problem is most people get a redtop that has done over 100k and put it straight into there corsa and winge when they get problems.

by one cheap and rebuild it if your worried, or do as twiggy said so you can atleast drive the car its in

I bought a redtop with 75K from a very recomended vauxhall breaker.

Engine with no box or ancillaries cost me £395. In order to get 3 months warrenty you have to put a full cambelt kit on.
