nazsky786 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Will have to check some prices. My insurance ends this month anyway. But I really want a t5. But if it economical I might have to just go with a recon 1.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Does that price include the gearbox, clutch, wiring? Or just engine parts? What about alternators, belts and turbo? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazsky786 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Everything . Transmission, turbo etc. Basically everything in the engine bay with the turbo dial on dash with the cluster as well. .

nazsky786 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 So would you say go for the st or 1.6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixmasterlooney Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Check insurance first, I believe you'll also have to update the v5/dvla. Cost of the engine plus labour and insurance will be alot of money one time. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its engine box loom transponder ecu cluster keys driveshaft etc. But youll have to tell your insurance you got a non standard engine. Some companies wont touch you.. but phone up adrian flux Sent from my GT-I9195 using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazsky786 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Does st engine use same fuel pump and fuel container? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazsky786 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Ok got a call from the garage . Cost £160. He says engine is fine?? Even thought it failed compression but you never know. He changed everything I changed again but he also changed a fuel injector and lambda sensor. Going to collect tommorow and get back to you. But having ran all the tests myself I come to a conclusion of piston rings. Don't wanna be wasting 160 on parts that are not required. 160 for the sensor, injector, ht leads, coil pack and spark plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazsky786 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 It don't make sense to me either if the car fixed I won't mind but if it isn't then I just don't know how he come to conclution to fix them parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well second hand a set is probably £40 and I wouldn't even want to know what one is new! Go to the garage and ask then to explain what they have done and why. Inspect the car yourself and then ask why the compression was low and have they tested it again after the repairs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazsky786 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Still thinking about the st engine. JW you think it's gonna be ok. I have the issue of having a ST engine but just abs dds, whereas a actual st has the extra st I'm thinking it might just be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazsky786 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 They say the engine is fine so I would expect the to do a compression test. I'll have to check. They drove it and it's a good they say. Any prob just take it back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nazsky786 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Got off phone to insurance company. This is funny. To change my engine etc to ST I only pay £1333.77. If I actually brought a ST - 3 I would be paying £5874. So I pay less to just change my car to st. They said it's because if they think you look after your car then you are less risk. So what does everyone say? ST or real st. Still have not picked up car yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazsky786 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 It works. It's drives smooooth feels like It's better. But he said use engine restorer from restore to help make the car perform better. Using supermarket oil and that stuff then after 1000 miles go back to Castrol oil and car should be better.
