    Calibra V6 again :)

    Anyone Up for a meet/Mince?

    As many are aware my v6 has died, What i am after knowing is anyone up for a mince/meet to fix it I need to source an engine, might go with a 3.0 or just put a 2.5 in. Anyone know much about the conversion any info would be most appreciated.

    I dont have an engine crane, so if anyone has one that would be brilliant.

    I'll supply lots and lots of Tea and Coffee and get some biscuits in

    Hoping to try and get it done either nxt weekend the 17th/18th or the weekend after 25th/26th

    Best Regards
    Ian

    Ah, I know Swadlincote.

    I'll see what I'm doing, but I don't mind being an extra pair of hands.

    Thats only just south of Chav, I can get to his and back on £10 of juice.

    If you aint wanting it in the immediate future I will give you a lift, got a proper engine crane as well and can maybe grab Andy and Chav on the way if they are up for it?

    Not removed a V6 before but as it's FWD it ain't gonna be rocket science.

    Sounds like this could turn out to be a good day or two.
