Engine swap in Lancashire..Help!

Post by laurenlee99 »

Hi there,
Can anyone direct me to someone who can swap my 1.9DG engine? I have a direct replacement same year engine to go in. The only thing I have to change is the carb, everything else including exhaust is on the new one. My engine blew the head gasket on the way to MOT station and I believe its the best option to change the whole engine??
Anyway does anyone know who could swap them for me and roughly how long it takes, and most important how much :shock:
Any advice appreciated!
