crank has gone in my mates smart, is there anywhere that does refurbs or exchange units ?

or do we take it out and burn it later, photos to follow

Not sure if these guys are any use for cranks themselves but if not then i would imagine they would know a man who does. Remember seeing some of their tuned cars around Nottingham - mental!!

Otherwise maybe these guys

Hope that helps anyway

Surely a good excuse to bung a bike engine in

I'm afraid these guys are local to me, not you, but might be worth a shout anyway.

They are very good.

Smart (mercedes) policy is only to swap whole engines, not parts. You'll struggle to get a new one. Dronsfield's near manchester is a merc breaker who does smarts. You might get an engine from there.

SmartsRus not only sell and modify smarts but they're also the UK dealer for the Michalak kit car based on a smart. They must have peices of smart all over the place.

How tuned was the engine? It's not uncommon to turn the turbo up from 54 to 104 BHP.

smarts r us do have bits of smart everywhere. I live local to them. However I heard they had gone out of business, but I have not driven past lately to see if they are closed.
