    I dont mean for free but im not payin around 1k for a engine install.

    Why not? I would think you would be doing rather well to get one fitted for 1k tbh. There is a lot of work in it.

    I heard of a friend and someone on boards saying around 500 should do the job.

    Sounds like its beyond economic repair if its that much.

    Cheap installs are usually just that .. cheap .. and sh*t

    What if the car needs a new clutch as well? Could well add another 300-400€ to the price.

    Why a new clutch the only problem is the Camshaft is frozen which means a new engine.Its got a full service history from Koping and was last serviced around june.

    If it's only the cam shaft, it might be cheaper to just replace the head. You might find an engine with the bottom end gone. You'd be very silly not to change the clutch when the engine is out, expecially on a 7/8 year old car. It'll cost a little extra now but nothing compared to the cost of changing it once everything's been put back together.

    Actually just talking to a guy on another forum who's a mechanic, say's a job like that could be done quite handy if he was keeping original ECU etc and it was only the block that was being changed. He's in Dub too... pitty dre has me on ignore :D

    Oh well not to worry

    No one will fit an engine for €500. My local mechanic charges €300 labour to do a clutch, and I reckon that is extremely cheap.

    300 for a clutch thats abit expensive as i got a full service inc clutch,brake pads,brake discs, clutch box just labour was 300 (a few months ago) and that was off a top ford mechanic with 15yrs experience so it was not a ****ty mechanic.
    Im going to ask him about the engine tommorrow but i doubt he can do it as i dont think he will have the engine lift etc.
