Recon engine seems the best route if you're going to keep it for yourself. The rust underneath looks treatable and the rest of it seems in great nick.

Store it for now till a suitable engine turns up at the right cash. Swap the lump and smoke about in it for a bit. You could soon turn a profit out of it mate as a runner. Anyone else looking for old Jags on copart now...... Damn you Drizz!

See some more up to date videos ;)

Just come across this video. I had same colour TDVi on a 55 plate, X dealer demonstrator. I nearly cried when I saw it bouncing on that fork lift. One of the best cars I've owned. Interesting to hear that the engine blew up. With a good history and fastidious owner, I wonder what went wrong? You see plenty of high mileage ones for sale. Mine was not good on short trips, with the DPF getting clogged up continually, so I had to part with it, regretted it ever since. I hope you get it going again, good luck!

Ive seen many reports of them failing across the different vehicles that engine was fitted to and some at really low milage. Just seems to be luck of the draw!

Definitely save it, just done something similar but with the baby X type, like you say only your time, get a s type dirt cheap and sell rest of the parts to make it cheaper but please film it for us to follow your journey.

Its a tidy motor. Worth saving. I would go with the other model and swap engine. Sell rest for parts etc and then have a nice motor for cruising in or sell back to the chap for even ££ ?

You have to save it, it's better than someone putting an electric car on the road! As for the engine I think I'd be tempted to go for the complete car you could get with a handbrake fault and use that one, at least you can drive/test it before you fit it! But a gorgeous car that needs to live again, try selling it back to the original owner, could be worth a shot?? 🤔
