HI all,
Following a head gasket failure / seized-up water pump / stretch bolt failure, I'm in need of a replacement engine for my 2002 1.9 m43 unit. Anybody with such a fine beast in decent condition, preferably in the south of the England (I now live in Normandy, but a quick trip might prove cost-effective) is requested to get in touch.
Thanks,
Boosh.

Have you tried Andy ?? - Spurs fan in a coupe.
Re: Wanted: 1.9 118HP m43 engine
Yes, Barry, Andy was my first port of call. Regretfully, the 1.9 he had was m44 140HP, not quite a straight swap with my m43, and therefore costly to adapt to my setup. You never know, somebody on here might have an m43 kicking around. At least it's worth a shot...
Boosh.

theres a guy on ebay with about 50 z3's breaking.
he's most likely got the engine you need, however he's a pain in the arse to deal with
