Replacing the Engine

[newkiebrown]

So because of problems I've posted before my car now needs a new engine/ Anyone know a reliable place to source one without going through the dealer as they're asking for 10k for a new engine. I've reached out to a few remanufacturers here (reconditioned engines) but wanted some advice as when it comes to engines I know nothing.

At the same time I don't want to pay 10k for a new engine when it only comes with a 12 month warranty

£10K!!!! Chap on here sourced a Peugeot OE supplied new/recon engine few years back for his R for around half that I seem to remember......surely it makes no sense paying £10K for an engine in an RCZ? Ebay has a load of used engines for circa £1000 find a good one and fitted for £1500-2000.

Isn't it virtually the same engine as found in a Peugeot 308 (T7)? Surely there would be plenty of places to source that. I can't imagine too many differences between the 308 and RCZ, maybe engine mounts and various hoses (pure guesses of course) but surely he could reuse most of the surrounding parts etc?
