So whats got to be changed? Ive got the broken 3 door and i think id like to keep it hdi. 307 engine seems like the best bet and stage 2 it while im there. Any input on this??

306 engine is best bet.

or swap all the 306 specific bits onto the 8v hdi.

if its 16v then look up darren lobbs thread.

Hard to find a low milage 306 engine though. Unless you know of one

lol. its for daily use i think it may be a tad much. no harm in asking how much though

couldn't care less about mileage, its all about condition, and also what someone considers low mileage is probably nothing to a well serviced engine anyway.

Again more likly to find a well looked after 307 engine really. Most 306s nowadays arent really the best looked after

Wouldn't worry what the engine is from tbh, Just go through it, id rather buy a 250k motor and go right through it than some random "low milage 307" engine.....

I understand what youre saying i usually do this myself however budget is an issue here as its just my daily and id quite like a decent fuel pump annciliries with it etc. Any other suggestions would be appriciated though

The current motor snapped a belt on 285,000 miles and most of the engine annciliers look like absolute crap and it had a fair few issues nearing the end hence the new lump and not banging a set of rockers in it and carrying on.

No problem, iirc you'll need to swap the exhaust mani and lower engine mount plus a couple of other brackets.
