Hi all,

Just need a bit of advice:

I've been after a Golf for a while now, but I'm on a low budget and am quite specific about what I want (after having 3 cars I didn't choose myself!). So, I've just found a MKIII 3 door in black, but the mileage is over 200000!

But, it's only £500.00

Previously I've had MKIII Polo's and have had a change of engine in one. So, I was thinking of getting the Golf and changing the engine for a lower mileage one. Only problem is the chap who changed my Polo engine has disaperared off the face of the planet and I don't know where else I can get it done (other than a regular garage that'll charge me a bomb!).

That's where you all come in!

1) Is it worth the hassle?
2) If yes, where can I get the engine changed?
3) And how much will it cost?

I'm sure someone here will be able to give me a rough idea of prices etc. I don't expect a to-the-last-penny quote, but a rough idea will really help me decide.

Thanks all!
