MX5 engine wanted - any recommendations?

[Craigie]

My cousin's Y Reg MX5 engine has packed up and is looking for a new (second hand) one.
Anyone have any recommendations as to where she could try? Lives in Motherwell.
And what the likely cost for supplying and fitting?

Cheers

Ask around the local scrap dealers.

I see there is one on Ebay for £275 from Japanese Auto Parts in Helen St, Glasgow. Anyone used them before?

Not used them but they've been there for yonks if that's any guide to dependability.

I'm curious if theyre the same people as previously. I dont want to slag them off if theyre not, but I phoned a Jap specialist breaker in Govan looking for a tail light for a 96 Starlet. Yeah yeah yeah, no problems, got loads in stock mate. Did they fk as like.

In fairness, however, they have good ebay feedback and a huge stock of broken motors.
