Focus needs new engine!

[Ben1989]

Morning guys.

Need some help and advice.

I have a Focus Zetec S 1.8tdi 2009 and it needs a new engine! I could just sell it for spares but because it's worth around £4000-£4500 I wanted to know if it's worth me dropping a new engine in it.

Question, how much would it cost? Estimate? If price is right, I would sell after as I don't trust Ford anymore. I'd rather get £4000 for it that £1000.

Can you guys help me out? I'm from Grantham, Lincolnshire.

Thanks in advance...

Why do you actually need a new engine? What part has failed and in doing so what else has it caused?
It could be more economical to have your engine rebuilt.

"it's worth around £4000-£4500"

i think you've over-valued your car i'm afraid

It'll take some rebuilding if you see the pieces of it from a catastrophic failure lol.

check eBay and phone local breakers to get an idea of cost of an engine.

the last one I fitted to a Vw was from my local breakers from their premium parts section, all engines were £180 plus vat.
