blobeye R.I.P! help with advice.......

[Nrodgers91]

Hi all my gx blobeye has died it still runs slightly but has terrible noise. Been in garage and have been told need new crankshaft pistons sleeves seals and that I would be cheaper buying a new engine as Labour charges would be expensive. full bottom of engine is in bad shape to be honest but I have been trying to find somewhere that I can buy all nessecary parts to fix but cannot find anywhere that sells pistons or that for my car any help? Or is this a lost cause and best to just buy a new engine ?? HELP PLEASE!!!

Try www.importcarparts.co.uk they have all the necessary bits to rebuild, they also sell short motors. Failing that if it's to expensive you could always get one from a breakers but then you run the risk of the same happening

Thanks stants I will have a look but way it's looking it may end up in the breakers it's self unless someone wants it for a wee project or spares

Oh not good news mate :( 2nd hand engines is a cheaper way of doing it for sure but as said you do run the risk of a repeat, being a non turbo though I'd be tempted I have bought 2nd hand engines before and had no problem :)

echo the others replace the motor is cheapest option - then you could rebuild your own as a project getting some experience on the way ;)
