My sarcasm was wasted, sorry. On most forums people introduce themselves first, as opposed to the first post being a 'can you help me' post.

Always lots of I need a '.........' for my car, then it is on Ebay for sale.

Sorry ' My Christmas Grumpiness'

Dajwid , it is good to know that the spirit of the season is upon you and you have reduced your grumpiness to "Christmas" level  :D
As we all know here you are normally far more miserable  :yahoo: :rant :yahoo:

 Sorry about the first post being a call for help, but I have been in the background since joining the forum in July and have two 126's bought as mot failures and am in the progress of repairing them. You will of followed them on Ebay. Thanks for mentioning the other two 126's on Ebay but they also are non runners and my garden is not big enough to buy 126's to see if the engine runs ok. The forum has helped me great so far and as soon as i have anything that might assist  other members it will be posted. Many thanks  and keep up the good work !

Hi Steve, I am sure that you will turn up an engine but its a bit of a quiet time of the year just now. In the meantime had you considered rebuilding one of yours ?

  I thought of that , but cost wise would it be best just to fit a running engine , What would be the cost to rebuild, assuming the worse, Cheers Steve
