if a cars done 98k is it at the end of its life? as i want to buy this mondeo si engine and its on 98 k for 300 quid i cant find anouther engine... and i thought it would ok? alot of my mates cars have done well over 100k mates xsi is on 130k, mates nova is on 158k miles... and they get ragged to death every day!!!!!!! so wats your opinions?

well as long as it has been serviced regulary and not had the funlumps ragged off it all the time it should be ok. Although i would look around for a lower milage one.

Ok i would have a series one zetec, but i want one with sensible miles! not 100k for 300 pounds! seemed a bit harsh to me considering tappets where f**cked!

Mate none of the engines came with a red rocker cover as standard.

Mine engine is at 130,000 and it is fine. Depends on how people drove it and how well it was looked after.

I am sure you can find a lower milage engine for less than that though. 2.0 litre zetec engines have got to be 10 a penny with the amount of mondeos on the road.

thats what im doing! if i can find one spose i better ring round every where!! looking for an engine!

lou's cam cover is red.. cos mark stewart who owned it before had it powder coated...

high milage possibly means its a company car.. and has done lots of motorway miles but has been serviced regulary... 100k reg serviced would be better than a 60k with funlumps ragged off it all the time!!... do u see

by **unknown_user** on Fri Jan 24, 2003 6:51 pm

Yeah i know what you mean! any way i have to find a engine again as i wassunt happy with the other 1! think its time to bite the bullet and get 1 that i cant see running with a garantee!

at the end of the day if it fucks up in six months ill get it reconed!

Y dont u rebuild it, and replace standard with uprated parts etc. Believe me it's great fun playing with engines. U will also get a lot of satisfaction from doing it.

by **unknown_user** on Sat Jan 25, 2003 3:51 pm

I was thinking about doing that, but i have found anouther engine now with 60k miles and i can take what i need from the car for 250 quid and its garanteed

fo that should be going in soon

what?

any ford engine over 60k i wouldn't buy myself (imo)
If your buying an engine, get the lowest miles possible, it costs a fortune to recon an engine, even if you do it yourself (also imo)

http://www.gwbridges.co.uk

now that was hard, i guarantee they have some series 2 mondeo engines with less mileage for less money. You weren't looking that hard now were you?

As for the red rocker cover, as its been said before thats a one off anyway. http://www.fiestaprojects.co.uk or .com is what you need to be reading, suggest you spend some time there before askign more questions

I SUGGEST U GET A LIFE TOM AND STOP BUMMING...
