Thats true, theyre good strong engines and should outlive the car if treated right! Go for the best one you can afford!

It's 1800 quid though  :smiley:

Do you think I'd be better off with the first one I was interested in?

The Anni is the better car, have a real good look over it for any rust and make sure it is stone cold when you look at it, if it has been well looked after it should be ok.

I would avoid it to be honest, sounds like a major gearbox fault, unless you buying it to break.
