Ah, the guy I know isn't anywhere near you. He has lots of contacts who have lots of odd bits and bobs around.

Is the engine terminal?

If you are going to have to buy a new engine then the cost of a reconed leg isn't going to break the bank.

Finding parts for the 100 is only going to get more difficult as time goes by so maybe if you are going to have to buy a new engine look at getting an earlier model leg too.

Maybe have a look here to get an idea.

Im not sure about the engine, it hadn't been run for about a year before i took ownership, i gave it a service etc and it started first time, took it out on the water and it overheated and cut out, could'nt get it restarted so assumed it was dead, got the head off today and it doesn't look to bad underneath, it definatly has corrosion around the waterways but cant see if its leaking into the oil

I would like to put another volvo in there but obviously if another leg/engine combo come along for the right price i will see about changing

I would also just like to find out if another engine is compatible with the leg (not just volvo)
