Piece of mind and being able to blame someone elses mistakes maybe priceless and often worth paying for..

Doing an engine swap is very satisfying and not as nearly as hard as it looks. It is like a 3D jigsaw most things can only go in one place.

The best advice I can give is - If you're planning to do it yourself then find someone who has done it before to give you a hand. Experience of previous knowledge is a massive help.....and safer if you've never even jacked up and supported a car on axle stands..

I do most things to cars, - clutch changes, engine swaps, brakes and suspensions changes, but often use garages for cambelts and more technical stuff... cos it is sometimes easier that way... I often work on the principal that If I spend 5hrs on a job that could only take 1 hr in a garage then it is cost effective to use a garage..

Got it off partfinder online, checked the engine code an that. It's out of an accident-damaged car, apparently it's only done 42k milage but u know what these places are like for that! Paid £130 for it, including delivery, so that's not too bad! Just can't believe a bit of water has done that much damage! Apparently it's come in through the air filter.]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 21:46:04 +0000 http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15279&title=water-damage#15279 Water damage : Sounds like you have hydrolocked... http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15277&title=water-damage#15277 Author: Andy

Right - the mechanic's been and said the engine is seized. bit of a problem! so i've bought a new engine - didnt want to part with my car! Next problem is fitting it, anyone any idea of how difficult it's going to be? We've got the Hayes workshop manual which is great, and the engine drops out underneath which makes things a bit easier!]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 20:44:54 +0000 http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15276&title=water-damage#15276 Water damage : I'm from Chorley, near Preston.... http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15274&title=water-damage#15274 Author: xLaurax

I'm from Chorley, near Preston. Will get some pics of my baby up when she's all better! We tried turning it over with the spark plugs out but the starter motor isnt turning properly. We've had it out though and connected up to the battery and it's working fine. I'm gonna have to get a mechanic out to it. :-( ]]> Tue, 04 Dec 2007 13:02:28 +0000 http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15274&title=water-damage#15274 Water damage : hi as mick said try turning over,... http://www.forum.clubnissan.co.uk/forum_posts.asp?TID=2079&PID=15272&title=water-damage#15272 Author: DanGT

Hi,

Thanks for your replies. In answer to your question, yes the battery is ok, it's a new battery. Put it on charge when we got the car back just in case so it should be fine. I'll try your suggestions when I get home and let you know! I miss my car!!
