Title: Replacement Engines where shall I go?
Post by: markie on February 09, 2009, 08:33:34 PM

Ok Challenge for you all!  This'll start you arguing. LoL  I've decided to treat my ferrari 126 to the ultimate and the biggest sign of commitment you can bestow upon one of these little lovelies.  I'm gonna go with a new/factory recon engine but am gonna rely on you lot to point me in the direction of the best deal.  All the best and your advice is welcome and appreciated.

The only ones I know are the ones on E bay from the guy who sold the engine to that TV program. [-/

 The ones you mean are Ricambi. Have met them few times and bought spares from them as they are local to us. Very nice people. Don`t know how much they are selling the engines for, but I`m sure they will give you a quote. Also the price probably depend`s on, if you want all the fancy stuff("Abarth" sump, rocker cover, exhaust...)
 There is also Ricambio which is a different company. They are selling they recon engines on eBay for £775,- with unleaded cylinder head, but this is just for the engine.
 I think this is a lot of money to spend. Maybe you should try to price up all the parts needed for an engine rebuild and find a good old school mechanic who could do the work, or possibly do it yourself. I think this is a cheaper alternative, but not sure. It may cost the same at the end.
 Good luck...

its cheaper from germany or even italy even with the cost of haulage makes it cheaper than the uk prices to be honest , if your going to go for a recon engine you might as well go and have it done yourself locally if not throw your chips in and look at middle barton and get a tuned engine in exchange for your house lol.

Just a thought here, is it possible to get a BRAND NEW engine for the 126? im thinking if you can still get all the parts, why not the whole engine? i think a fiat dealer is the place to ask. I know we can still get all the parts for a vw bug, so why not a 126... (i know it would cost a small fortune but hey...  :P )

A big thumbs up to the Fiat 126 forum, I'm going to enter into negotiatin with goombas to find out the total cost of getting this engine from Poland to sunny Wiltshire.  Once again the Polish come to the rescue and bail out us brits! respect.  Will keep you all posted  8)

Title: Re: Replacement Engines where shall I go?
Post by: goombas on February 11, 2009, 07:50:25 PM

markie check your mailbox please will clear doubts
i've allready send an inquiry...

Title: Re: Replacement Engines where shall I go?
Post by: dajwid on February 11, 2009, 08:02:34 PM

1)
Ryanair from Stansted to Gdansk, Bus, train to Pruszcz Gdański (or a lift) Pick up and pay access baggage.

2)
Contact near Pruszcz Gdański puts it on the coach from Gdansk to Victoria

3)
Postage is expensive, shipping is cheaper but takes  6 - 8 weeks.

3)
Plenty of transport from Poland and back, only last wek an empty one was driving from Lodz to Scotland and looking for anything to be picked up.

4)
Drive over, Takes about 20 hours 1 way with a few breaks.


Biggest problem will be how to pay, Paypal is very new to Poland, most use bank transfer. (Watch who you give your details to).

Title: Re: Replacement Engines where shall I go?
Post by: markie on February 11, 2009, 08:11:12 PM

Yeah, I'd go with a bank transfer, paypal or credit card.  The only safe ways really, this allegro site! would I be right in saying it's a poland based site a little like Amazon?

Originally Allegro was owned by a Dutch guy but the company was stolen from him by his Polish partners, they simply went and changed the ownership details ::)

I remember the case well when I was out there.

Title: Re: Replacement Engines where shall I go?
Post by: 1973/126 on February 12, 2009, 10:17:51 AM

 Think I will have to pop over to Poland, when I`m home in Slovakia next time. Stock up on engines and bring some over here.

 An other option would be to get them here by a Polish lorry driver, who travels to the UK. Or check Gumtree, I have seen adds where they are looking for an extra person in the car. I am sure someone would bring one over here fore a fee.
