[mjb]

my god that not cheap i was told by a company called the engine warehouse they could rebulid my engine for £1195+vat i want to get her back on the road the rest of the car is sound other wise i would just brake it for spares ok thanks chaps back to the drawing borad i guess

That's the prices for brand new engines from the dealers. You can probably get a used one under 100,000 miles off ebay for about £300. Slap on your old manual box if it's an auto and bob's yer uncle

Nah same engines

That's me told, I've spent all this time searching James' posts and I can't find anything specific, just "you can't" and "don't go there" but this was refering to converting an automatic car to a manual

From what I've managed not to forget over the years all I can say is that it seems the only difference between an auto and a manual is the bell housing bit. The block is normally the same. Mind you we are talking about Peugeot's here so.......

[steve_earwig]

That was my thought, I've even done it a couple of times back in the day. Flywheel and crank spigot bearing, bell housings are generally part of the 'box... mjb's right though, Service Box lists one part number for both autos and manuals (but lists them seperately )

It would be a joy, I imagine, to carry out a cambelt kit change on a V6 but on a bench in front of you

[mjb]

"probably"

You won't find anyone willing to commit to a "definitely", but the blocks are the same part so we can't see why not. The only thing to watch out for is that you won't be able to slap an ES9J4S in place of an ES9J4 as there won't be anything to work the VVT actuators. Putting an ES9J4 in place of an ES9J4S could also have unexpected issues too

That would rule. I'm probably just going to let mine snap instead of trying to change it in situ with my tree trunk arms

[fairlight08]
