Paul Drawmer Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Please can anyone tell me a good source for a new, or nearly new, VVC? I'm looking for either 'ornery or trophy spec. BTW it's to go in a GTM Libra, so it doesn't have to be modified for in-line installation. I saw a post here a little while ago about a new VVC being 'about a grand' which struck me a cheap, light BHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Howe Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Suggest you contact DVAndrews..DVAndrews@aol.com he was offering VVC lumps a few months ago. JH Edited by - John Howe on 10 Jul 2002 17:23:01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Reaper Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 Got mine from the local Rover dealer,£2731. Same price for both standard 1.8 and VVC. Cannot see how Caterham can justify the huge price increase for the VVC unit if supplied by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross.mcw Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Was the engine from the Rover dealer fully equipped, ie. alternator, head, cams, loom etc.? Sounds pretty good to me. Cheers, Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 The engine came with a sump,head,oil filter,various senders and covers already fitted. The sump however is unsuitable for use on a Caterham.You will need to order an EA49 kit from Caterham,which includes a sump pan,baffle,new oil pick-up pipe,Starter motor,Air filter,Flywheel,Clutch plate and cover,Caterham spark plug cover (which is no use for the EU3) various metal plates, sender units,engine mounting brackets,a water rail and a dipstick. Anyone want to buy a Black caterham Spark plug cover? The Meaning of Life Part VII;Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver-7 Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Paul, Brought my VVC engine from MGF spares, Mucklow Hill, Halesowen, Birmingham for £700.00 inc vat. It had done 14,000 miles in an MGF before the car was writtern off !! Saw it running in MG before buying, if you do go for a second hand engine from a crashed car make sure the car had light front damage only as the engine is in the back of the MG !!! and if you can see it running first. Regards, Silver-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
