My engine has just suffered a terminal failure and I need to replace the lump.
Anybody know where I can find a reputable complete engine?

Why not take the opportunity to fit an M50? :)

I'd certainly entertain an M50 - I just need to be sure I find a good one as I don't want to have to spend more pulling the thing out every few months. I was guessing an M42 lump would be the cheapest option to drop straight in.

Being a rubbish mechanic I really need to find a trusted expert to to the job so any recommendations gratefully received.
I live near Cambridge so anywhere vaguely local would be helpful
