Evening,
I'm about to embark on a derv swap in my 240 and it leaves the B230e somewhat redundant.
I believe the story goes that my car was a stock 2.0gl, and that a few owners ago, a keen caravaner decided he wanted to make it a better towcar. It got Bilstein suspension, LPG, a Simmons (I think..) exhaust, and a rebuilt B230e from Caprice Engines with a lumpy cam. That would have been (approximately) 50-60k ago. The owner after that had problems with with the head/cam, and the one after that was Bryn. The lumpy cam wore its lobes down within a very short time, and Bryn put a new (I think rebuilt/recon) head on it with a standard cam. That would have been around 2005/2006. After that the car has gone through 3 or 4 RR owners
What I'm trying to get at, is that it's a cared for low mile engine, though I unfortunately don't have paperwork to back that up. I'm due to remove it in the next couple weeks and it's all in good order. It idles a bit high, but I assume that to be a vacuum leak/injector seals.
I'll need the alternator and PAS pump but everything else (all the K jet gubbins, exhaust manifold etc.) will be included.
I'm after £100. If it doesn't sell, I expect I'll strip off the ancillaries and sell them separately, then chuck the longblock on ebay at 99p...
This is how it looks at the moment.
I have a crane so can help load it into your car/van/trailer though it will be collection only as I am never about during pallet collecting courier times.
Please reply or PM me..
Thanks
Ben
