up in newcastle mate, that would be spot on even just to give me a better idea it seems as though people are just trying to take the wee for 1000 im
willing to take the engine out and refit it one weekend, its just finding the time

If you've ever changed an indicator bulb on a 225 you can understand exactly why it is that big a job. I was advised that the easiest way to
change the bulb is to completely remove the front bumper  Ignoring this advice, I did it as the manual suggests (sort of), although I ended up
jacking the car up, removing the front wheels and ripping both my hands to shreds in the process  In hindsight I wished I'd taken the
advice.
Best bet is possibly to get a fixed price quote from a reputable mechanic who's never actually worked on a 225 before but values his reputation
and quality of work.
