Duratec
After the breakers on ebay cocking up big time, I am still looking for a reasonably priced 2.0 duratec....
If you spot one, let me know.
At this rate I think I would be better off buying a whole mondeo and breaking it FWIW!

Did you contact DIYER on here David?
I think he has a "as new" one.

This is often the cheapest way to do it, particually when you can sell on the other parts you remove that you don't need - Only trouble is
it's a PITA and gets the neighbours complaining about all the scrap lying around on your drive

Thanks Steve, I have U2U'd him to see if he still has it. if not, I will keep an eye out on ebay for a local one which i can collect myself.
Having assessed what one weighs now I know that 2 of us can easily lift one into the back of a car so I can collect no bother (I can manhandle one
with all the ancilliaries attached myself anyway).
Thats my only issue with breaking one, I dont have anywhere to do it!
Apparently the lack of good 2.0's on the secondhand market is due to them having weak big ends (about 4 breakers have told me this now) but I
will replace the bearings anyway as a matter of course.
Cheers,
David

David, I will phone Simon later and check for you.
I am not 100% sure but bearings may not be available from Ford, they service exchange short engines for these because of the way they are assembled,
thats how it was a couple of years ago anyway. But it may have changed now.
