sieds Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Yes, I would be intressted for the right price and some time to pick it up. But it has to be complete with loom ecu etc. And preferable as far as possible ready to fit. Depending mainly on the price then Edited by - sieds on 6 Mar 2002 07:46:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 5, 2002 Author Share Posted March 5, 2002 I doubt they will be complete with loom and ECU, but as the price is *attractive* it is probably economical to buy both the loom and the ECU. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilyhands Posted March 7, 2002 Author Share Posted March 7, 2002 Sadly they have all now gone and to the same person, dont be surprised if they are re-advertised at some stage at a higher price. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted March 7, 2002 Share Posted March 7, 2002 But do we all know how much - and how much to try to barter? Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 They went for £750 each.. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Any chance there might be some more available in the near future??sad.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 Maybe.. I'll keep an ear out, you'd be surprised though what some people expected for their £750, new engine, ECU, loom, plenum, exhaust, all the peripherals and.. oh BTW did it have a Caterham starter, bellhousing, sump and engine mounts.. Gack.. Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 If you had 33 interested parties for the few engines you had going...is there anybody on here has the will or the way to get a bulk order of engines from Rover and a reasonable discount for such an order? If a count of interested parties could be made and a price per unit given out,I'm sure we could have a bulk buy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 8, 2002 Author Share Posted March 8, 2002 I think the going rate for a packaged 1.8K in standard trim is around £3K and that's for a large quantity of engines, the VVC will be considerably more expensive, even with a 'bulk' discount (and PTP wouldnt consider 30 engines 'bulk') you would be hard pushed to get them at any reasonable price.

Grim Reaper Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I was led to believe that a "Service replacement" VVC was around £1000 (no ancilliaries) Where's Bob Corbishley when you need him?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Maybe I am mistaken, but a service replacement sounds like an exchange unit to me.... Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Corb Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 I meant that my engine came in a spec that would be considered to be a "service replacement engine", i.e. what the Rover dealers fit to cars which need new engines under warranty. They are new but have no ancillaries, loom or manifolds. It sounds like my engine came from the same place as Oily's. I dont know what Rover charge for these but mine was about the same. I could ask PTP... give us a minute. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Corb Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 PTP cant supply service engines, but they are going to find out from their associated dealer (Trinity Motors) what they cost. Hopefully they will also give me an idea of what a fully dressed engine costs based on a purchase of 10 units for example. Dont hold your breath though.

Grim Reaper Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Thanks Bob, I'll be ordering my engine at the beginning of april so any better offers will be gratefully accepted. I'll call Viking to see if they can source one for me. Am I right in thinking you didn't have an engine to give in exchange? Because I don't and I think I would be hard pushed to find one.

Bob Corb Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Viking dont mind selling outright, I didn't do an exchange. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Corb Posted March 14, 2002 Share Posted March 14, 2002 VVC Service engines are £1800 retail (+vat), you should be able to get 5% off that at a dealer. PTP said that if we put together a group purchase of 10 say they could cut the price to £1600 + vat. Part no is LBB111140. BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
