loserone Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 What engine is this? I have a XU7 1.9 petrol from my 405, complete with new cambelt kit, perfect head, new head bolts etc, etc. Only issue with it is half a head bolt in the block..

stillOrange Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 There’s a guy on 405 Facebook page that’s is very keen to take this and change engine. Better than sending it for scrap.

D Spares & Tyres Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Will get on Shiply tonight, but if anyone happens to have an empty trailer going north..Otherwise; I would expect D Spares and Tyres might have an interest? He'd have a customer lined up for some bits immediately ...!Would if it were more local. Bit far for me to get enough back on it though. Hopefully the Facebook chap will have it and resurrect it, although I don't hold much hope on that given the barely literate mouth breathers that seem to inhabit the Facebook sales sites!

D Spares & Tyres Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Disagree!In an ideal world, petrol is fine but being held to ransom by the government and fuel companies is not. When I say I run a diesel car, that is said to simplify matters. Rarely do I have any actual diesel in my tank.

MarinaJosh Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He took them off as he didn’t want to lose them. the valuable bits. I am buying a 405 STI off the chap who is breaking it so the wheels and caps will be ending up on that replacing the hideous alloys it currently has. A few bits from it will also be going on my GLX (which I also bought from him). The good news is it has helped a lot of other 405s already, and he will save every usable part from it.
