, at least you can do all the work yourself It does look cheap but the prices are all over the place on ebay for remanufactured engines.Thanks both.
Whilst I am still likely to do it myself, I have since spotted this:
MINI COOPER S R55 R56 1.6 TURBO ENGINE SUPPLY & FIT. 2006 TO 2010 | eBay
Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for MINI COOPER S R55 R56 1.6 TURBO ENGINE SUPPLY & FIT. 2006 TO 2010 at the best online prices at eBay! Free delivery for many products.www.ebay.co.uk
Which seems cheap to supply and fit. Is this a case of too good to be true? Has anyone got any experience with these guys?
It would mean that the mini would be back on the road by the end of the month, rather than the 3-4 months it is likely to take me to get everything else I need to do first and then actually do the mini.
Thanks,
Mark
Early this year I purchased what was supposed to be a fully forged engine for ~£7K from a company claiming to be No 1 international BMW/MINI engine & parts supplier and that turn out pants and since then have gone out of business.
Not sure if you've checked out the company you've linked to
FAST ENGINES LIMITED overview - Find and update company information - GOV.UK
FAST ENGINES LIMITED - Free company information from Companies House including registered office address, filing history, accounts, annual return, officers, charges, business activity
beta.companieshouse.gov.uk
I would say if you don't have a choice of waiting then that is a good price for supply and fit (can be a lot of hassle chasing any problems afterwards), but if you do have time and can DIY then that's no brainer.
