IMO,it would take a good full day to fit a 998 engine, and make sure It's running ok. You'll always have a few little niggles to sort. Good luck!

Finally driving the car with a MG Metro engine, although only breaking it in i notice the increase in torque over the 998

I always find that if you do hit your hand or finger but you manage to undo what you were trying to undo it doesn't hurt as much as it would if you hadn't managed to undo it !

It's when you hurt yourself badly and then it's made worse by the fact you have now completly rounded off the bolt/nut you were trying to un-do

I've stopped counting the amount spent... it's just not good for the soul, plus with these cars it's about the love of the car, not the cost.

GOD F***ING D**M IT EBAY! You had one simple job to do with your global shipping system but no. You can't even get that right. I've got a few people now contacting me asking me for quotes on postage, AFTER, they have bought items, because the global shipping system won't automatically provide them with a price. I have since removed the option from my account and have gone back to mainland UK shipping only.

I just sent a laptop to dublin using that. It got damaged en-route and now the buyer is having to return it to me. It's going to put me well out of pocket. I wish they would ask sellers before doing shizzle like that

It is annoying that you are automatically opted in and so you have to opt out of it. I sold one item to a guy and spain and didn't have a problem but I now have to sort out postage for 3 items all going to Ireland.
