Did you see it running in the other car? If you did then it's even more likely that the garage is doing something wrong.[/QUOTE]

£700 for an engine with only 5 day guarantee and that was taken out of a car - but you didn't ask to see it running? Ouch.

If you want some useful advice then you need to stop drip feeding information and start answering some of the questions people have asked to try to help you.

Stuff like, what was wrong with the original engine and what does the garage say is wrong with this one. Or, how about, is it the same garage that can't get this one to work that told you that the old engine was beyond help?

Back to you.....

jona had more luck than my hubby

What year is your car? And what year was the car the engine came out of?

Did you fit it complete with clutch and gearbox or used your clutch/box?

Problem is have the garage actually said whats wrong with the engine? Or did they mis-diagnose the original fault?

What was the original fault?

Errr OK this has been going on since October 2010???

If its got no compression in any pot it's either got no head on it or the tester is goosed
