Also known as a (surely they've all rotted away?) Vauxhall Brava and here as an Opel Campo.
Mine's a '97 model with a 2.5 turbo. Almost 300k kilometres and rural Portuguese maintenance have left it totally rust free but with a tired, slightly smoky/small endy motor. It'll chug on for a while yet but I'm trying to be prepared!
I've been out of the loop in the Uk for nearly 20 years so I have no idea what I'd have to pay for either of the two motors that apparently fit, the 4JB1 2.8 and the 4JG2 3.1. Fitted I understand variously to Fronteras, Isuzu Troopers etc. It would need to be one with a mechanical fuel pump and no intercooler.
I can get a motor transported here free and they just aren't really available here anyway so the Uk looks the best bet.
Any advice on the likely price and where to look gratefully received.
