Sorry, i could of worded it better, say if you where going to put a new imported engine in, what parts would you keep from under the hood the would be needed when putting the new engine in?

Yeah i might have a chat to that guy again and find out some more detail, would that of come with everything needed for the car? or would some additional parts need to be purchased/salvaged?

He said something about it being an import if i remember right? from overseas? japan? or am i totally off the tracK?

I got talking to a guy about his Subaru Brumby one day, and he had claimed to have had a an engine with 50,000km purchased from Melbourne and shipped to Tasmania for a total of $800, and a mate put it in for $200, so pretty much a new engine for his Brumby in and running for $1000, Does this sound c...

Thanks for the info Dane, your a champ, I'm gunna suss it out tomorrow and decide what I'm going to do and have a bit more of a chat with the mechanic, I'm maybe thinking of getting a newer car like a forester or newer liberty with a loan, and just keeping the L series at home and maybe look into ge...

So out of that list i made, whats the important things? and how much am i looking at roughly?

Somehow I'm thinking more toward the 2000 to get in shipshape, id keep it for as long as I could prob until I finished Uni in 4 years, but yeah just seems a lot to spend on a car thats prob not worth that much?

and dont worry about the questions, i really dont know what to do? im thinking a loan of the pars and a forester!

Bought for 2300, had it a year and a half, 266,000km, Gear box is noisy, body in really good condition, paint on its way out, cracking flaking, it was hard for him to give ma a quote as he hadn't finished checking the rest of the car, I got the impression he was pretty much saying it’s going to cost...

Well, I took my car into mechanic today, and went to pick it up this arvo as planned, but got some bad news. A lot more is wrong with my car than expected, as originally I was only taking in for a service/safety check, timing belt change and a couple of other minor things. To give me a bit of an ide...

Hopefully try and organize something through summer, I'm from the East Coast and I know some pretty amazing places up that way, access to beaches, forestry roads with sick swimming holes, good camping spots etc

Ok, cheers but still, should I let him know its not that (because the car is still running) and to avoid labor fee's, or is it worth still checking out the timing belt to see what condition its in as its got 266,000 on it and I have no history of the cars maintenance?

cat diesel oil eh? Is that safe??
