My 1800 zetec - any interest?

[tigran]

As title - picked up one of the V8s and a spare head to rebuild for the pinto so have no need for the zetec. So if anyone is interested in it it's up for grabs - I'm only looking to get back what I paid for it a month or so ago.

Am on the lookout for 195 15's so willing to work something out where some tyres change hands for the engine

[Pillock]

just outta interest.... is it a full engine or does it need senders/sensors/plumbing etc?
115ps or 130ps version?
ballpark figure?

I've got a Mondeo that's done 80k since the last cambelt change, and has various other issues mostly relating to sensors and electronic trickery. I sense putting in a new, tested lump is easier than trying to fix faults one at a time and then shelling out hundreds for a cambelt!

[tigran]

115 version. I'm afraid I can't vouch for it's running, apart from the fact that the bloke I bought it from was a nice guy and stripped cars/built up engines a lot, I can see it has had a top end rebuild (he said so) and there is sealant marks present to support this. It comes with ancillaries but no ECU i'm afraid.

£100 would keep me happy.

[Pillock]

hmmm i'm gonna have a think about this and run it past the missus...... ours is gonna set us back a few hundred quid soon for cambelt and whatnot so it might make sense. just a bit of an unknown quantity but if the guy was honest.....

gimme a day or so to get a quote for putting it in the car.

oh, and i take it 'ancillaries' means what.... waterpump, alternator, manifolds? airflow sensor?

[tigran]

Let me bosh a pic up and get details of everything that's on there.

[Pillock]

any luck with those pics?

Also any details from when you bought it, was it sold as a rebuilt one or was it just out of a scrapper and it happens to have had a bit of work? Has it done miles since the work?

cheers

[tigran]

Oh curse word sorry I forgot. It wasn't sold from a scrapper - from a guys garage who had used it in a fiesta project but then took out and apparently did some work on it. Like I said he seemed an ok guy and I was sold it under the impression that it runs and is in decent working order.

I will get some pics when it's light - completely slipped my mind!

[Pillock]

Hello

[tigran]

Sorry, sorry. With the work on the two retros this got pushed to the back of my mind. Anyhoo here are some pics:

It has been covered over this poor weather and the tb has been sealed up. The inlet and exhaust are both there. As are all the pumps and belt(s).

[tigran]

p.s. it has been sitting drained since the day I got it.

[mitch]

Where abouts are you?

[tigran]

I'm in potters bar, herts.

[mitch]

Has it got the loom with it?

[tigran]

Fraid not no.
