Welcome to the forum! If you want to restore your car and have questions, this is the best place!  Now we could start a native topic... ...or a Matra meeting in Hungary...  Üdv a fórumon! Ha valamiben tudok segíteni, akkor írj. Az elmúlt két évben a felújítás alatt összeeírtam pár helyettesítő alkatrészt szívesen megosztom a cikkszámokat. Sajnos nagy része a motorhoz való, így lehet nem tudod használni őket, de a fékfelújító készletekét, betétekét, tárcsákét megírom, ha kellenek. Körülnézek a bazárjaim között, ha van valamim felesleges, akkor azt szívesen eladom. Back to the English. Sorry for writing in Hungarian, but I am very happy to find a new Hungarian member on the forum. If you want to install a powerful engine it will consume a lot. And do not forget the strict regulations. If you want to have MOT after engine exchange in Hungary you may pay a lot of money, registration tax, etc. If they find your engine too powerful they can require a new brake system, noise level or sound examination and so...First of all ask the authority (NKH) before you do anything. It is not easy to find a 2.2 or a 1.6 engine in Hungary, but those would be the easiest and cheapest solution... If you want to save money on petrol cost think over LPG. I almost forget to ask where you live in Hungary? |

Thank you!
The camshaft is broken. The mechanic that the engine was incorrigible, and for "working fees" stole the engine and transmission.
I live in Hungary, and the people are not familiar with this car. It is almost impossible to obtain a separate engine, only abroad. Bring home is expensive.
A broken camshaft can be replaced for a few hundred €. So that would not make the engine "incorrigible". He simply wanted your engine for himself and really stole it. His "working fee" could not be 2000€, or what an engine is worth.  How much did he want in "working fee"? You would have been better off playing him and finding a HONEST mechanic. He just sold the engine and transmission to the ironmongery for "working fee"... |

Yes, this is how things go in Hungary... You should ask the place where he sold the engine and the gearbox... Maybe you could buy it back for a little money. Not cheap and you should have some place to store it, but can buy a spare car: http://www.hasznaltauto.hu/auto/talbot/matra_murena/talbot_matra_murena_murena-6525067It has engine failure, but it is worth a phonecall. I think you could lower the price and you would have some spares. And an important advice: If you want to buy an alternative part, which is borrowed from another car (e.g. Peugeot or Citroen) never mention that you want it to a Matra. You need it for an old Talbot. Sellers can get bloodthirsty if they hear Matra... |

Sellers can get bloodthirsty if they hear Matra... Approx. it happened 12 years ago. The dealer was certainly do not remember it. Today I call this Matra owner of what is wrong with the engine. |
