to be honest they are not worth much even with a high mileage engine let alone a blown one, ive seen them with high mileage going for around 2.5k

I\'d break it for parts - if you sell it for a grand that\'s all that\'ll happen anyway - just that someone else will be making the £££s.  Just take a look at the For Sale section and you\'ll see how much people will pay for pretty simple bits like door handles, switchgear, never mind the rats nest etc.

its a shame they go for ford escort money even with a water seal failure! would it not be worth getting it checked to see if thats the problem and buying a seal kit and having a crack at doing it yourselves, enough people seem to do it now! but if is housings and rotors that need replacing it gets alot more expensive!

Waterseal failure is internal. You wouldn\'t see any leaks outside the engine. I would suspect a broken hose myself. Does it throw lots of steam out the exhaust?
