I would look on good old ebay first.
In fact I just have done and searching for completed auctions confirms a sold 1.8 with ancills for £100 and a 1.6 with ancills for £31.
No breaker will sell you one for this sort of money.

I was quoted £300 less ancills from a breaker without a gaurentee. If you buy the whole car at least you can here it running? it also gives you the
chance to service and tune before you remove it from the car

The best thing about buying the complete car is that you are guarenteed of getting ALL the little bits to make it run, don't forget things like
fuel pumps, relays.
And then you get all the other bits free, seat belt bolts, loom, steering column, brakes & pedals.....and if you use enough of it, you don't
get a Q plate
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

My local one will do one for £200, as said depends if you want just the bare engine or all the injectors etc. If you get one from a breakers ask them
to run it while it's still in the car, the last one I got did this no probs.

Just buy complete cars and do the wrecking yourself
I have bought two complete scrap cars, both form local wreckers, both for £40 pounds.

i agree about buying the complete vehicle, ive bought two bike engines seperate from the bikes and it makes you realise just how much extra stuff
there is to have. Ive been lucky with these two that starter, altenator and gearboxes were all present. Stuff like the cdi, the coils, the clutch
actuator, carbs, airbox engine sensors, throttle cables, sprocket covers, wiring etc can all be missing, its lots of ball ache putting it back
together. Fortunately my engines actually had most of the stuff present, the most annoying bit is the missing coils on one and the clutch lever on the
other.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.
