I just got the price for the rebuild of my engine. $12.500 is the asking price. This gives me a fully rebuilt engine with a new turbo (old one was still working fine). The mechanic will then warrant the engine for 2 years or 100,000Ks. The car is a 2002 model GU wagon which is in reasonable shape.
Is this a fair price? i just need some help deciding what to do.
For that money you might want to look at 4.2 td conversion, would have a very reliable motor, won't be a rocket but will last 500k plus looked after
I would love to do that, but would also cost mega bucks. Anybody Northside of Brissy had this done, and if so what was the cost?
Did you need the rebuild or just get the head done? maybe get a 2nd hand motor for 6ish and see how that goes as long as it's after 2003 that is what mine has.
I have a quote for a rebuilt engine 4800 fitted with warranty. my engine is completely stuffed. scored bores, cracked head etc.

bugger mate wish you a speedy recovery and a cheap one. I'd go the cheaper options say you keep it for 5 years then upgrade or what ever the cheaper option should last till you replace it.
thats kind of what im thinking. Bloody 3l

First couple of series had problems with blowing pistons and causing catastrophic failure. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think 2nd series had clutch issues. 3-4 series had most bugs ironed out.
Look up zd30 grenade, or zd30 problems & you can troll endless threads.
