halima83: there are junk yards in US and Canada, it depends on where the vehicle is coming from. however, if you can't source it there, don't worry, you will get them here. Ladipo, owode, will be a good place to source. there are people on this forum, who can help you source for the parts as well. keep us updated as things unfold. good luck. 3 Likes |

That engine is between 900,000 and 1,000,000 naira in Lagos last time I checked. Please try to compare the cost of getting same engine from the states/fixing in the states versus doing the same from Lagos assuming that is the reason for its non-drivable state. MODIFIED: I can link you up to a junkyard that I have patronized in the past. I have not asked them how much they sell the engine but with online prices starting at $800 (or N 292,200.00) to $1,500 ( N 574,500.00) excluding installation costs, I think this is certainly an option worth researching. There also exists the issue that you maybe getting an engine with pedigree that is almost impossible to do here, since they keep records like the VIN of the donor, the mileage when it was taken out to mention but a few. 2 Likes |

AutoElectNG:did i tell you the engine is not working? being non drivable does not mean the engine is down. it could be due to battery or kick starter or the rear impact that affected the tyres's movement. |
