If you have room to store that Strada you could probably take the engine, part out the rest and maybe even come out with a profit!? 
so after a bit of research(calling upon a few service places, and offered rediculous prices; not to be named here) i decided to do an engine swap.
i decided to go with the guys at Coombs Country Autos. Graham and Glen(who i met in person) were fantastic.
they swapped my engine and other problems in record time, and even tossed in a few "extras".
tessen drives like a new van now.
double thumbs up to CCA and their excellent service.
i would've posted photos, but due to silly image restrictions on this board, i have given up trying to post any.
the site says "no larger than 960 pixels", when in fact my images are smaller than that.
i give up. (somehow i expect these kind remarks to be edited by the "gestapo".)
i suspect that i will be leaving this forum soon.
