tell me about it mate, I bought a grey one off a dealer and it was siliconed all underneath so no corrosion was spotted upon inspection, i did all the welding in the end, it needed new sills, front floor pans, rear arhces, gutter strips... the fucking lot mate.
I then located a mint condition white s2 off here and snapped it up, now all this trouble with the engine... ill give the grey one something though, it is mechanically sound so hopefully ill be able to get the best of two cars into one lmao... what a nightmare.. Im changing the engine as im fed up with fault diagnosing to no avail... i got a brilliant engine here that never lets me down so im going to use that instead of polishing the turd engine.
Thanks for that seal tip mate, ill get em changed over, you reckon they will sell em in Halfords?
Just hope i can get the engines swapped over in a day, im gonna start early around the 7 o clock mark!!
