often an engine on ebay for sale couple hundred quid or so

i have been looking there is a few about but at least if you buy a car you can see what it goes like first but u will keep looking

Second hand engine £300 or thereabouts? Maybe £350 from someone like Salvo who you can trust? Esp. if you don't need the turbo, manifolds etc.

As Al said budget around the £350 mark for a good one, stay away from breakers, try and get one privately where you can see the service history then you know the mileage will be correct,

How long do you want to wait for the engine?
