Clio 182 went bang..... Scrap or sell?

[magic36]

Hi guys,
Tonight unfortunately my FF BG 182 went pop..... Lots of smoke, noise and the oil is on the outside of the engine rather than the in.....
Basically I was just wondering what is best to do with the car now. I'm not sure how much it would be worth to sell, how much it would be worth in parts, or if I should just cut my losses and scrap her.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Joel

What extra bits are on it?

 

[botfch]

What's gone bang the engine or gearbox?

 

[Louis]

How much for the cup spoiler? 😂

 

[Stay Puft]

Buy a new(used) engine for a few hundred if its a nice example?

 

[Mr Plums]

Check its not the camseals that popped out and oil burned on your exhaust.

What the condition of the car apart from the engine

 

[magic36]

Pretty sure it's engine, to dark to see right now, looked lower than camshaft seals I think. Its lowered on shocks and springs (eibach maybe) scorpion ss exhaust, turini wheels, private plate. To be fair I was looking to get rid of it soon anyway so I'm not sure if an engine change would be on the cards right now. It's not a minter but also far from a dog I'd say.... Anyone know how much it would be worth to sell as a whole and how much in parts roughly?

 

[Mr Plums]

New engine £200'ish off here, then labor, might as well swap the engine mate, its cheaper than a decent set of tyres if you can fit it yourself.

87k on the clock, few dings here and there, wheels could do with a refurb. Not a minter, but far from a dog I'd say

 

[imprezaworks]

Save it

Thanks for the advice I used to be a mechanic so I would have thought I could swap the engine, it's time and inconvenience more than anything and o was looking to get rid of the car anyway

99.9% sure its the engine

Scrap it then, you obviously havnt got enough time to break it.

 

[Pauleds]

Sell it on here as a project for someone

 

[magic36]

Scrap ot then, you obviously havnt got enough time to break it.

I may be wrong but I think scrap value is at around £150 a car at the moment.... Is there anything of great value worth removing before? Steering Wheel is in pretty good nick, spoiler, turini wheels, scorpion exhaust, interior.....
Sorry for the lack of knowledge, it's been a while since I've looked on here and I'm comletely out of touch

By the time you have removed all the valuable parts, you could have swapped over the engine and sold the whole car for £2k+

I'd be happy to sell to someone to save it, I just have no clue on the value

It's more the enthusiasm for the car has died as well I guess. Seems a shame to just scrap it though

 

[Louis]

You're looking around £300 for the turinis alone depending on the condition. Scorpion probs around £150?

 

[magic36]

I'm honestly so out of touch with how much it is realistically worth, I thought it would be more in thw region of 1k..... However if this is the case it may be a more viable option. Thanks for the advice by the way, sorry I must sound like a complete nonce

Ok mate, ill have a think and decide what is best and get back to you :up:

 

[imprezaworks]

455 and a hug?

 

[ed55j]

I'll give you 500

 

[LeeRS]

How about you both fo and get out of my deal?

 

[ADS_V6]

455 and a hug?

Can't think of anything worse

 

[imprezaworks]

Can't think of anything worse

Arms aren't long enough to hug you

 

[imprezaworks]

I'll give you 500

Hug is worth more than £50 you know that

 

[Djw John]

Yeah I'd say circa £500 if you want to sell as is.

Thanks for the advice :up: i know 'what is it worth' posts are usually frowned upon, i just genuinely have no clue..... that as a ballpark figure is great :up:

From the Isle of Wight?

No worries mate, it's a shitey thing to happen. Dropping an engine in is easy enough but only if you have the time, space, tools and skill!
Where abouts are you?

 

[LeeRS]

From the Isle of Wight?

Is that where it is?
I will dig out the helicopter then, no probs. is in the shed somewhere.

Just guessing.

It came of a bit of a surprise, hell of a bang 😂 I think I have all the necessary attributes to get it fixed but having them all at the same time is a different matter!
I'm in the Ipswich area. Tried to ring 101 to tell the police there may be oil on the dual carriageway and i was put on hold for 15 minutes! Rang back and they put me straight through to 999 ersevere:😂

Not quite the Isle of Wight..... Ipswich
