You could then look at fixing the other lump in your leisure if you wanted a spare motor. You could also see it as an opportunity to upgrade the engine to something else as well I guess, Zetec, Duratec etc.

hi john thanks for taking the time to reply could you enlighten me on what kind of money i would be looking to spend on a zetec engine and which zetec or duratec engine is the best to go for upto 2k? thanks that would be great if you could let me know i guess the budget option is to get the engine rebuilt had a quote of about 450 to get it stripped and sorted but i would rather go for more power and better engine! i want an engine with better cooling as the current engine use to heat upto 120C which im sure was not right
