I couldnt get £750 for my whole cossie last time I wanted rid. It had 11 months MOT and drive away! Not surprised that engine didnt sell.

Totally agree Craig!
Definitely buyer be aware. I contacted the guy and he now seems to want £499 just for the engine when he was advertising the engine, gearbox and harness for that, bearing in mind he had zero bids too.
I just want a good solid engine for my Cossie as my current engine was wrecked after a bad timing chains job (yes, I know, I have beaten the forum to death about this before,...it's still in legal process though so can't say anymore than that).
I just need my car up and running

as with all s/h parts you pays your money, you takes your chance, at least you know hes doing it as a business from his add. just ask yourself if the mileage means anything, is one with 30k on it better than with 130k, I think not, too many short journeys to the shops.
The best you can hope for is your money back if its u/s when you fit it, I presume he will have bought it in, either as a smashed up car or just the engine, either way he wont know what its like on the road will he, none of us has a crystal ball. short of buying one and having it re coned top to btm thats the best you can hope for.
you may heve to just bite the bullet, I personally don't think the price is bad either, and no I dont know the seller either.
