there may be cheaperout there but 90% of engine parts they have

Strange! What mileage has it done?

This is the first I've seen of cracked pistons on these engines.

Can you see any reason why it's happend?

Snapped timing belt at some point In it's life?

Hydrolicked or something on oil from a failed turbo?

You can't received any PMs for some reason

I've got a complete engine I'll do a deal on if you're interested?

You could sell on what you don't need or keep as spares..

Could probably deliver for a fee too
