Hi, Can anyone advise anywhere to pick up a decent secondhand 190D diesel engine. Found a few recon places but it's costing just over a £1,000. Was thinking of looking into possibility of any suppliers in Germany? Any feedback appreciated. Thanks, Bob |

if 190neil's 2.5 isnt what you want................could always buy one from a salvage yard....as long as it starts without any fuss and theres no blue smoke or rattles,you should be ok...........but if you buy a second hand engine,ALWAYS give it a service when fitting,oil,oil filter,fuel filters
........can i ask what is wrong with yours ?

Hi, It's actually a 2litre 190 not a 2.5 so gonna have to pass on the 190 2.5 you're breaking. Thanks anyway. It's actually my father's car and I'm helping him look for a replacement s/hand engine. He's seen recon for about a grand but it's way over his budget. Was thinking more 300-400 for s/hand and see how it goes. Basically whole car shakes, had merc specialist check injectors, fuel pump etc but end diagnosis was it it the engine itself. Tried on the net on brekaeryard.com. Found a supplier selling one just off a car for £280 delivered. However the engine is in Bristol and the guy seems to be messing us around kept promising delivery for last 3 weeks complaining his courier guy is at fault. We're based in London. Also wanted COD & not credit card payment. They advertise a 2mth gaurantee on engine. So still looking around. My father loves the card and does'nt want to get rid of it. Bob |

by merc specialist,do you mean a dealer ?..........and unless you really really trust this guy,i would be looking for a second opinion.because what i have found is that these so called specialists,unless the are enthusiasts as well cant really be bothered with older cars <_< because there are other things that would cause the car to shake while both idling and running at speed,engine wise-a burnt or sticky valve,another thing could be the vibration damper coupling on the propshaft,just to name a couple. always prudent to get a second opinion .....pity you werent closer to me,i would have looked for you
