    I think we can guess, in the ball park area of life, that this is going to cost more than the car is worth - even if the OP sources a secondhand engine. So all that info at this stage is not necessary.



    Sorry, no, you cant guess this one & if you knew anything about cars you wouldnt of stated that.

    What a stupid thing to say.

    And the planet ZaZa, no doubt, has many other spectacular deals.

    How do you value a used head off a 9 year old Ford??

    Not stupid........

    The labour and parts will exceed value of the vehicle.

    Secondhand engine is the cheapest way to go - but it would still cost more than the value of the car. But it may be cheaper for the OP to go that way rather than seek a replacement vehicle.

    I make it eight years old, but lets not split hairs.

    I run second hand cars and usually get the cambelt changed at around 55 - 60,000 miles. I write it in the service manual so I won't forget. I have never had the garage suggest it.
