2006 1.8 Engine Problem

Hi Everyone, not only am I new here, i am also new to the MX-5 experience, i have just purchased a non running 2006 1.8 to get back on the road for days out with the wife.

Can anyone suggest where to get a good mk3 1.8 engine from?

Thanks and Regards Stay Safe.

It’d be worth contacting Roddisons for help

and maybe MX5City

Thank you, i will send them a note.

Unfortunately engine failure is common on the MK3, particularly the 1.8.
Cars with failed engines very cheap to purchase.
Would advise you speak to the company already made known to you above and consider a 2.0 replacement. Be prepared for a £1500+ bill.

Thank you for the advice, yes i was thinking about £1,500. and maybe some sun so we can put the roof down…
