What everyone needs to understand is another motor is the cheapest and quickest alternative. Any reputable wrecker will offer at a minimum a 30 day warrenty and the car will be back on the road by Christmas and not from some goose off facebook or old mate down the road, a decent tested 2nd hand motor.

There sounds to be at least quite a few positives with this approach. It has to be significantly easier with the labour involved. I'm also concerned that it is easy for me to give money, but I'm not gonna get lumbered with all the rebuild work and responsibility. I'm in IT and hate it when people just assume I would have no more pleasure than to spend the rest of my life fixing their computer (even though I don't do PC type IT). I know you are mates George, but there must be some days when you want to see the end of it too.

Been hoping you'd give us an update George. You're obviously an important part of the "brains trust" that BA referred to needing some input from.
