i bought a 1.4 lol, living in ireland, my engine was in euro's from a member on here (sinnerboy) although at the time it was through a friend, and i later spotted him on here lol. cost me 400euro for the block, 150euro to fit, 200euro for a sportex decat system, erm... after that i lost track. was lookin at about 1000euro all in tho, and that also included a service, 1.6 ecu, 8v flywheel. i kept my old 1.0 gearbox for closer ratio's

When mine clicked and the sound was coming from the top cover, it was a valve slightly hitting a piston. Turned out to be the cambelt slipped a tooth. Luckily it did not snap.
