Hi all, i have a 2005, D22, 71k miles. Had slight knocking from engine which got worse, pulled over and got towed home, presume it is the con rod problem, engine still runs but very noisy, does this mean a new engine or can existing be re-built.
Buy a good second hand engine from Thorntons breakers and get the engine mod done.Broos said:I have a D22, 2004, which I bought recently knowing the engine had gone. I was hoping to pick up a reconditioned engine and get a mate to fit it. Easier said than done, I have gone on the old interweb trying to find a reputable company to supply a reconditioned engine, however I seem to get flooded with the greatest offers every only to go on line and check the company finding numerous complaints regarding service and doubtful delivery of the engine. Does anyone know where I can purchase a decent reconditioned engine from a reputable company????

tbh I wouldn`t trust a lot of the engine recon outfits nowadays,
Billcar would be worth a shout though :thumbleft:
That doesnt sound good matepwjl said:Dropped sump off this week, shells have completely gone on No.4, crank + con rod very rough, looks like bits of shells welded to them. In bottom of sump is a gritty paste presumably ground up shells, think new engine may be on cards as this must have been pumped round complete engine so god knows what wear it may have caused to other parts of engine, (would welcome others thoughts on this). As per previous reply, anyone know best place for proper recon engine.
