Almera Tino SVE engine swap

[Ken Tucky]

Have got one a 2003 Tino with a QG18DE engine which has a terminal oil problem, burning about a litre of oil a week!! Missus likes the car so I have been looking for an engine swap since the garage I take it to indicated it would be cheaper than trying to fix. Have seen an ebay ad for E7 Engines & Gearboxes, Bignold Road, London. They are offering a fully reconditioned one for £795 for parts and fitting. They have over 900 satisfied customers and 100% record on ebay but there's not a lot of engine or gearbox swap seller feedback. Anyone heard of them? Are they any good? Anyone know any other reputable places that could supply, or supply and fit? Thanks
