I payed £150 for a complete engine with bosch, minus gearbox. You can get complete engines for sub £100 if you're lucky.

Yeah that sounds about right the good thing about getting a complete engine is you have a few spares atleast plus the engine I got has 100k less miles .
I think 285k miles isn't bad for the life of a tuned engine.

I recently got a full 97k engine with a Bosch, T2, reconditioned starter, brand new Bosch alternator, new glow plugs, all ancillaries and half decent clutch for £100 on eBay.
