Hi kookin,
All up 30k. approx; from new radiator backwards.
Alternator and starter from old engine, everything else (hoses, clamps etc) new with 2 year Merc warranty.
I'm sort of OK with this.....
Transmission said to be good.
Just need to check diff (in Perth).
So then all 3 major components (engine, trans and diff) should last a while.....
I know it's a case of coulda, woulda, shoulda - but that's the final decision!!
Cheers.
Regards,
