    Rusty nail needs some serious advice as to blown up 3lt

    As per Rusty's thread Nic's mechanic has come back with the worst news ... now this is for advice not condolences.

    What are the options and costs??

    Is the 4.2 viable????

    Any ideas people.

    What are your contacts like George for another 3lt??

    Why is it I see the Navara 3lt for a lot less and more advertised than the GU.?

    Navara 3ltrs are non intercooled


    Shipping motors interstate kills any competitive price i could source locally anyway. Wreckers offering longer warranty periods have better quality parts than cheap ones with less warranties

    I have had my engine and gearbox shipped for $300.. could have gotten it even cheaper.

    I also got a quote for less than $500 for a whole 4wd

    That GU I was offered earlier is still available for $5500 for the whole car or $3500 for what ever we can strip off it as long as it can roll into the auction... only problem is there is no key and no idea of its condition without running it?

    Try Allied wreckers in Dandenong, I've used them a couple of times, service seems okay.
