Hi,
Long time listener, infrequent caller.
My Liberty 2.5L (03/04 sports auto) has done its bottom end just before its 187k service. Has a lovely knock and a taste for oil. Before this it always serviced on or before the due time (usually before but never over), used good fuel etc.
I am after some advice on what to do.
My options are
A. Engine rebuild. Mechanic has a ballpark quote of $5500+ (is this good/bad/not bad?),
B. Getting a reconditioned motor to slot on. Who's the goto people for engines? (EJ25).
C. Trade in the car and get something on finance.
I am located on the Northern Beaches in Sydney
Thanks.
Hi all, my liberty has unfortunately also suffered from the same fate. Any info on local (melb) engine re-builders or wreckers would be much appreciated. I've been quoted $7-7.5k from Gotitrex in Sunshine for a rebuild. Would like to know what other options are available, seeing as though I'd like to keep the car for at least a year or two.
Cheers,
Jamie
