Oh hai, remember the engine, ecu and loom you sold me last year?

Fair enough! Get an engine for that price and I suppose you've got to presume it may need some work!!

I do believe this is the guy who sold me the black saxo shell.

Strange, you never mentioned only having the car two weeks, you also told me that everything was fine, I seem to remember you even saying it was a very strong engine - yet it was constantly overfuelling and had a massive mis-fire that I had to sort out too. ECU I had to get unlocked so it obviously wasn't unlocked, and the loom was 'twiddled' together underneath the loom protection, that's if it was joined at all.

That's not the engine I bought. I spent £350 expecting the engine to be fine, as that's the top end of what these engines go for, instead I got sold something that barely worked.

Welcome to the forum mate, as for 106's taking over that was sooo 6 months ago...bloody clio are on the go now.

i dont see how the ecu was locked as it all ran fine on my car when it was running, and there was no misfire or overfueling it was a bit juicy but just the same as my gti now, it pulled better than my friends gti and i never had a problem with it. it was a strong engine. like i said about the wiring i never had no reason to look at it the guy i bought it off said it was done proffesionaly and i took his word lol

soz if it didnt work out for ya but it was an honest sale. and was fairly priced

Yawn... boys use the PM system... i don't want to be locking a newbie thread.

Fair enough Stu, I'll give him a p.m later.
