Typo? You mean £1,500 to £1,600?

Crickey is that what they cost? Was as said, hoping to pick up for about £600.....Maybe that was a little underestimated on my behalf. :(

If that is the case i wont be in a poistion to buy one then.

If you spend sub £1000, and I'm sure they are out there, it'll come with a host of issues that'll probably cost you more in the long run, unless you are really lucky it's a false economy.

This would probably be the best route to take tbh mate, that sounds like a cracking deal there. Otherwise as said, 1.5-2k for a good 5th gen ;)

And also, if you do decide just buying an engine would be easier.. im travelling down to sommerset, from glasgow, on sunday so I can drop it off for an extra £50 or so in diesel to jump over to Totton ;)

I must have been lucky, then.

On the other hand, I do believe that useable Ludes will never be cheaper than they are now. Especially 2.2s.

If you don't want a mint example, then they are out there for your budget Peachy, you don't need to spend £1.5k. It just depends what you're after.
