Exactly. They were basing the £2500+ cost on the labour to remove and strip engine, and use a £400-500 pound second head.
But once they're in there you'd be looking to do the seal, the IMS , the water pump and any other number of things, plus assume that there's nothing 'worn' elsewhere within the engine that could do with sorting. Could end up being £3500+... easily.
What's really pissing me off is I've just fitted a glass roof conversion, spent £600 getting the aircon sorted, bought a new ignition switch, 2 AOSs, etc... So, on top of the £6500 I paid for it I've probably spent another £1500 and LOTS of my time getting it right and was looking forward to using it for the rest of the summer.
Only to then find the fecking engine is bolloxed.
I'm not happy!
