WhackyWill Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 A HR engine is anything but a straight forward fit in a DE engined car - it can be done but you would be spending mega money on top of the engine purchase...... Colin's right its not a straight forward swap over, wonder if your breakers know this, if they don't I would be careful.. Quote
ZEUS Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 To put the HR engine in your going to have to change all sorts like bonnet etc. sounds like the breakers haven't realised that. Quote
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) It may be a DE Revup they are selling, definitley want to check that though. We have a DE revup in stock Edited January 15, 2014 by Clark Motorsport/Zmanalex Quote
Watshot Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 It says a 2007 Revup, no mention of an HR. Quote
ZEUS Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Yep that's me not reading the whole thread correctly Quote
The Seasider Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 If you'd have bought it privately - you'd have been absolutely stuffed. When you buy a car from a dealer it has to be of merchantable quality and fit for purpose - they are obliged to honour these precepts for a reasonable period regardless of any written warranty they provide. If it's only four months since you bought it - I think you will find that the dealer could be obliged by a little call from trading standards to put everything right for you. If not take them to the small claims court. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
R35LEE Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 The sale of goods act applies but they will state it's out of the warranty period and not a new car. It's a case that could gonoj for a while but it's worth a call to trading standards for some advice I guess Quote
ro88ie Posted March 30, 2014 Author Posted March 30, 2014 Finally after over 3 months my zed is back running. After pursuing my finance company and Evans Halshaw with no luck I bought a low mileage Revup motor from Clarke Motorsport along with a clutch and lightweight flywheel. Really excited to get taxed on Tuesday and hit the road again. 4 Quote

Easty Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Bet you can't wait!! Good to hear you've got her sorted 1 Quote
BenSRG Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I'm really sorry to hear this mate, my uncle bought a 182 which had been serviced, MOT and driven 60 miles the day that we bought it... paid the cash, drove 5 files and the car chewed all pistons. Cost over £1000 for an engine swap on a crappy clio lol. Seeing these threads make me not want to buy a 350 Quote
CJRamze Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Threads like this make me really nervous. Not sure what I'd do if my engine went bang. Dont think I could afford it! Quote
