Shame it's not being broken - i need a new tailgate wiper blade ;D

Could be a good breaker that one.
Facelift leather interior, elite alloys.....good late 2.5 engine, auto box, ccr2006.....Bose!

hmm......how hard is it to fit a 2.5 where a 2.6 has been ???

If you move all the engine management bits from the 2.6 onto the 2.5 I reckon it wouldn't be too bad. Only showstopper I can think of is if the 2.6 style coil packs don't fit on the 2.5. :-/
The engine management will probably adapt to the fact that it has 100 cc less engine.

Only the cam covers are different, the coil pack mounting holes are in the head and tapped ready to use.
Exhaust manifolds would need swapping.
Think you could pay to sort your other car and get the engine in the deal if you broke that one Jay W

Sounds like a project to me, then. :y
Yes, you'll need exhaust manifolds without EGR and SAI and a plenum without egr or an IACV. Basically, just strip the 2.5 down to block and heads and reassemble with the 2.6 parts.

Mark, are you saying that the 2.5 would run on the 2.6 management system and that i could run the coil packs on the 2.5 so long as i use the rocker covers?
The idea had passed my mind, break the estate, sell the leather bose etc and get the engine FOC effectively :y

Only snag is getting it home from London. :-/

Not a snag mate, just a small hurdle ;)

I can see no reason why not.
Everything will bolt on and they didn't change a great deal.....2.5 compression is higher than the 2.6 but, that may well be beneficial as it should result in getting the power output back up to 2.6 levels.....you might have enough from the sale of parts and the shell to drop some 3.0 cams in before refit!

cheers for that.....
now off to do some negotiation, the mileage on the estate is good so this could be a goer :y
