A Mondeo goes for about £200, an engine on its own is around £150! but i can weigh the mondeo in after I take the engine out and get most of my cash back!
Snag is they are very few and far between, I do not want to travel more than 60 miles really (120 miles round trip). Anyone know someone that might be able to help? Getting an engine delivered is also expensive!

That's the way I went after buying a diesel donor and it took me months to track down a decent engine. Finding a low-ish mileage engine is a pain.
