Focus needs new engine!

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'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.
