Got here a 4.6 Rover V8 from a HSE model around 1998. Comes with all ancillaries, loom and ECU.
Bought this with the intention of shoving it into my Carlton, but thanks to a friend who was looking after it the inlet was exposed to the elements and rainwater had filled up the cylinders.
I put the engine on a stand and drained the water, then put a small amount of oil down the inlet to halt any more corrosion.
Therefore I am selling this as spares/repairs.
£100 no offers Collection only from Bicester, Oxfordshire.

I may well be interested.
Please can you send me some photos of the engine as it is now? I assume from your description that everything is there to make it run? Alternator, starter, plenum, everything to make a complete engine? Manifolds?
Very interested. ;D

If Bruce doesn't take it I could use it for spares for my P38, or if you want to weigh the block in I'll just buy all the ancillaries of you!
Just out of interest how long was the water in there? I'd imagine it's toasted internally but if it was only a day or so might be worth salvaging, most 4.6's need new liners/seals anyway!

Not to worry I wasn't interested in the block anyway, i've spent so long making mine water tight and strong I wouldn't want to start the saga again...
Let me know if Bruce bows out

I might buy the block of you if you want to split for bits for 10mpg and Mystery Machine doesn't take it as whole lot.

Bumhats,
I'm really sorry for not getting back to you about this....a few things kinda happened just after I registered an interest and I've not really been 'with it' since! I'd completley forgotten about this. Apologies.
I'd love to take it, I really would but I think with the other stuff that's going on right now I need to bow out and let someone else take it. It would be brilliant for my Land Rover but I guess sometimes fate plays its hand.
If for some reason it's still for sale in a week or so, I might be in a better position to think about buying it. In the meantime, apologies again about the lack of contact and I hope you get a quick sale.....I am sure you will?
Thanks,
Bruce.

All PM's have now been replied to, but to be clear: I don't do 'dibs', parts are sold when I have the cash in my hand or the cash in my bank/paypal account! I've been mucked around far too much with people saying they will buy things only to be let down a week later (usually accompanied by a lame excuse).
I don't mind holding parts for people as long as they have been paid for as I have a large unit so space isn't a concern.

....only to be let down a week later (usually accompanied by a lame excuse). If this is aimed at me then I apologise again. I hope that the death of a close member of the family isn't counted as a lame excuse? I genuinely have been all over the place (literally and mentally) for the past week and honestly didn't mean to leave it so long to get back to you...it all happened the same evening (just after) I put my first post up regarding the engine. I am sorry if you feel I have messed you about but I can assure you it wasn't through anything conscious or deliberate.

People are always interested but few will cough up the cash so its better if I do it this way.
