    Would cost loads from citroen. Hi-flowheads sell a brand new vts engine with 0 miles for £2500. Or they sell rebuilt engines with a stage 1 head for £950.

    It might be just me, but I noticed that all engines from breakers have "32,000 miles" on
    
    The one that's in mine now has "32k" on and so did about 8 others I found before I got the one that's in now... think there was one that had "29k" on it...
    
    Anyone else been told that the engine had about 30k on it? Getting old cars now, there’s not many with low mileage yet there are loads of “low mileage” engines kicking about!
