get the GP timer relay and harness along with the fuel filter

proof of mileage is irrelevant with 200/300s

don't forget to ask in the RR section as well ........

and why milleage irrelevent? lol surely a 50000 better than 200000 isnt it?

Depends if both vehicles have had the same type of use & servicing then yes.
But 50K round London with minimal oir no servicing. Versus 200K of 65mph motorway driving with regular servicing would be a whole different ballgame.
 
im getting engine from a breaker and dont want to make out i dont trust them asking to prove milleage, to me they should have relevant paperwork to prove or not be able to sell as how do we know where engine comes from?

You can never be sure unless you have known the vehicle since day 1.

If you can get a 3 month guarantee then great...but i wouldn't hold your breath...

Try and find a running vehicle and then you can hear/test it....but you'll still never be 100% about any used engine...

Ask to see V5 of the vehicle that the engine came from. so you can check the number to prove it's not stolen. if they're kosher they shouldn't have any problems with that.

buying an engine without seeing/hearing it run is much more of a risk than expecting a document supposedly proving mileage to be of any use
