If you supply the parts I'll happily rebuild an engine for a fee, but
a) I'm not local to you
b) I can't be bothered with taking it out of the car and putting it back in.

Ok, I'll have to weigh out the costs of this how much would you want to rebuild it? - The engine has seized due to failure of oil pump. I know sod all about engines so dont know what parts I'll need for this damage.
Also if you've DHL'd an engine before what kinda price they want?
thanks

It's not cheap, TBh mate, if you just want the car working again it would be far cheaper just to buy a good second hand engine and drop it in.

I can get it recovered to me and return it fully functional again if you wanted.
either a rebuild of what you have ( doubtful given pump failure) or a good used known, historied replacement engine with verified mileage.
Up to you fella, PM for more
Widge , apologies for the post whoring, need some work
