Engine Couriers
I finally grew some grapes and bought an engine. The only problem is that its in devon and I am not. Does anyone know of couriers who will shift it up
to the midlands for me?
Also, take a glance at the topic "help with M.E." I can't help, but you might be able to

Hi i use TNT there very good and usually charge me around £40 anywhere uk but its more expensive if its coming from some one to you (carrage
forward they call it) dont know why
is it a bike engine or car as a car would cost more due to the weight you could use my account if needed and just re emburse me the costs
cheers s malc

oooh what did you get?
can't help with couriers, but i take it you've not seen the engine yet? personally (although more expensive) i'd get a van and
collect myself. depends where it is, but you get to see it, and if its crap, you can always leave it

this is the thing, I always collect everying whether its essex or leeds, but this one is a 7 hour round trip..
You know I'll end up trundling down there on saturday with the hilux!
After wadding through mountains of pros/cons I decided on the c20xe RedTop. Seems to me to be the most modern engine which has internals that dont
need to be swapped as soon as you want to raise the bhp.
Standards are good up to 250hp

good lad
reckon you made a good choice on the red top. i went with the ecotec myself (same block, different head) because i couldn't stretch to a c20xe.
mate had a red top in his corsa. you won't be diappointed  his certainly flew!

From my experience of engine couriers, pick one with a good reputation as my Zetec turned up with the inlet manifold broken off.

This is why i started this thread Stu, like a good boy I searched for old threads before i posted a stupid question. Your situation scared me into
asking for reputable guys!
