Im after an F7R engine, but im having no luck, i thought they were quite common? am i looking in the wrong places?

any ideas where to get one?

F7Rs from the Megane are more common (there's one on ebay now), however, it needs sump/subframe fabrication to fit the 300. You'll almost certainly get the best deal if you buy a scrap car with an engine in it. Megane F7Rs and Clio/R19 F7P are more likely to be sold without mention of the engine number or that there is anything particularly special about it, you're unlikely to find a Williams where people don't realise the value of the parts though.

Watch the Clio 16 Valve forum: http://www.clio16valver.co.uk/forum/

Not all of them bud, mine is a megane one. D700 (Williams) and D710 (Megane) are fine, not sure about others.
