| Briskodian  | Re: Skoda breakers in South Yorks area Why not just get a second hand engine and either keep it or sell it as a working car. Lummox on here isn't up your way but has done an engine swap on a 1.9 ASV engined car with a resulting very happy owner  I mean 1k to swap the engine so you can sell a 65k TDI for at least 3k second hand I would have thought.

| Re: Skoda breakers in South Yorks area Agreed, it makes more sense to replace the engine. The cost of fixing the car, will far outway the price you will get for it when sold. Either take £300 for it now, or spend about 1K on it and sell for 3K or more, its a no brainer. If you sell it to a breaker, my guess is they will give you the £300, fit a secondhand engine in it, and the sell it for at least £3K.
