I would not go the recon route as the history of same is very dubious. £4250 from a main dealer for a recon? You would want to check exactly what you are getting for that price. I think a new block is around £3.5k plus vat, plus fitting. So £5 to £6k from a dealer would be the ball park. Others more familiar with UK prices should be able to confirm.yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Oh yes I misread, even so tread carefully as there are real horror stories when it comes to recon TDV6 engines. You could look out for a accident damaged Jaguar or D4, its another option!yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ
