    You are insane if you didn't agree a price in advance. They could ask for megabucks.

    Don't mind at all! It cost 750 euro - and its actually running better now than it did the day I bought it! Same litre engine but just seems to have more power :)

    I reckon it was probably the case that whatever caused your engine to go was adversly affecting its performance from the day you bought the car.

    By the way I reckon you done very well to get an engine supplied and fitted to a 2004 Corolla for 750 quid all in

    Hi. Could you tell me where you got this done? A friend of mine needs a new engine fitted ASAP.

    Thanks.

    I know a place that can replace those engines fairly reasonably and can supply the engine if needs be. PM if you need more info
