Best spot to buy an engine

honda boi

So from my last thread. My ford cmax needs an engine.
Anyone know decent spots to get an engine preferably with a warranty?
Most spots looking for 800-1000+ for an engine but no warranty.
Cheapest spot I found is 800 for turbo and engine but no warranty.
Is there even places that give a warranty?

So, you're definitely looking for a spot? A place, premises or location wouldn't be of any use to you?

:pac:

If buying from a business you don't need a warranty as you are protected by consumer law. So getting a garage to supply and fit is the best spot. Buying and fitting yourself may be cheaper but not a better spot, as the supplier can claim that you damaged the engine during fitting which is why most won't offer a warranty.

Was in the same boat a while ago, a month's warranty was what I got with mine off traynors up north.

Sorry lads meant where is the best place to buy the engine . I'm in the midlands.
The mechanic said for me to get the engine and bring it to him.
Tried traynors up north but they have none in stock.

Google cmax breaking, I see some results that way.

Is it the 1.8 TDCI engine? They are the same unit in a mk2 Focus so it might aid in searching for the engine. They are a bit rare though with all the wet belts snapping recently...

Nah its the 1.6 TDI engine.
Scrapyard near me has a 1.6 Citroen berlingo engine and said it,ll be grand for the cmax.
Will I need to inform insurance about the change since its not technically a cmax engine?

Oops, you said insurance. Yeah, best tell them. Since it's same size premium should stay the same.

If the engine is the same, you may well need *all* the ancillary bolt-on bits from your old engine.

Was told I had to do nothing when the engine changed is the same size,didn't even know about that form!lol
Just seen its a main dealer who has to stamp the form.
Any idea what they,ll charge for that?

Nope, but they will tell you when you contact them.

I see your still hunting for one.

All of these manufacturers had this exact same engine in at least one of their cars, mostly covering period 2004-2011, the only difference being all the bolt-on ancillary bits might be different.

Citroen
Peugeot
Ford
Volvo
Suzuki
BMW (Mini)
Toyota
Mazda

Just make sure its the 16v 1560cc version.
