With 40,000 miles on the clock it could well be an engine out of another car. Unless it was someones daily drive for 4 years, if so surely that would make it one of the most high milage Nobles out there, would it not?

Looks like a standard 2.5L to me, with them quoting lower than standard power figures. Most likely the dealer just not knowing what they're talking about.

i don't like the fact the front splitter has been painted also - probably had a smash up front

the cossie engine would not fit - its also a heavy old lump !

probably better to fit a zetec or duratec turbo engine that will fit the gearbox

When I smashed my azure blue 2.5 it went to a recovery garage in Kent.
Don't know if it's the same one as my plate was a private one that went with me rather than the car.
Just the re-spray and smash comment rang some bells!
