Hello guys, my first post on this forum, ive tried searching but not found exactly what im looking for.
Im planning on purchasing a p38 with an engine thats sucked in water, the auction can be found here
D Hales - UK Motor Salvage Auctions
Just wondering really obviously its the bmw 2.5tds engine, im planning on exchanging it for another identical unit as i don't think it will be worth ripping the other to bits (unless anyone thinks thats a good idea?), if i do a direct replacement ill be doing it myself. Not changed a large engine such as this before, done a few Renault clio engines and im fairly handy tbh. is it difficult to do a direct swap? Just looking for some info really from experts on here, and if there is anything else dodgy by looking at the pics other than the scrape on the o/s quarter panel on the auction let me know.
regards
Josh
