I think all in all, with the engine dips/facing and new clutch (G60 flywheel + clutch yea baby ;) ) glow plugs, gaskets, rings, bearings, oil, antifreeze, filters etc etc, it's cost me about £400 - but i've got an engine with basically 0 miles on it :) - well, 140 but who's counting :p

That's really good man, well done, and great price for a new engine too, I wish I had the knowledge and know how I'd rebuild my engine seeing as it's broke. lol!

Still running it in at the moment but it's sweet :)

Very sharp and responsive, pulls very well and doesn't smoke much if any! (that's with the uprated injectors :) )
