Re: diesel engine + parts to convert your 460

 5 days 10 hrs to go ,these engines always go for loads on ebay.de- 2000 euro + is not unusual and there is still loads of money and time to spend gelandifying this engine that is w210 derived (606.962) 
 good package though and what you need to get in your 'wishlist' typical of german sellers though really nicely presented ,all in apparent good order ,clean and not cut out with a gas axe .
only bummer with import in to uk is the duty from hmrc they charge upto £60 on an injection pump so gawd knows what figure they put on an engine package - good spot though as it is all done for you without having to get filthy dirty dismantling a rotted out 'e' class.
 intercooler not really any good for 'g' install 
  603a injector pump needed then have rebuild with 6mm elements £$£$
  oil sump /pump/dipstick/baffles etc £$£$£$£$  1800 euro when i last checked 
  engine mount brackets for g install .
  throttle linkage.
   there is a massive list of silly little bits that adds up to quite a lot of money glow plug units etc etc 
  oh, and how did i forget the turbo hits the steering shaft and the alternator doesn't clear the steering box in rhd g wagen 460/463
   they are amazing engines though ,they are just a major challenge to do and the job is a long one,but if you can do it what a machine you will have power and sensible mpg and they make a glorious noise like a big 6 cylinder aston or c type jag -very undiesel like.

No Duty (or vat on secondhand goods) if within EEC but may well get stung for a customs clearence fee by the carrier!!

Re: diesel engine + parts to convert your 460

you are dead right ,my mistake they make a charge just to process the clearance even though it is zero rated. i do not often buy from germany as the prices are on the high side compared to the states ,but even with the customs duty /carriageit is still a lot cheaper to buy from the usa.
   i sent an engine to nz recently and it all had to be on non timber pallet /totally sterile / decontaminated, the owner  paid the shipping heavens knows what it cost ,i even did a little film of the engine running on the floor so he could see all was well .
  but it was low miles and there was no source for him locally so ....

Re: diesel engine + parts to convert your 460

 Why bother shipping this pile of bits from Germany, just buy an MOT failed 211 Eclass ebay id full of them for less than £500

Re: diesel engine + parts to convert your 460

 thanks gordon, i think adrian saw this as a good package but it is worth watching how much it finally goes for as ebay.de is a v expensive place- my bet is in excess of 1200 euro . 
  you did get a total  result with your e class taxed and mot'd , they tend to fetch a bit more than that in this neck of the woods and you have to factor in the stripping it down and taking it to the scrappy as the price of steel has taken a dive -last one i stripped was a result as it had been caught in a flood and weighed loads- the water was running out of the car crusher as they squashed it, i had to look the other way as i got the certificate of destruction. beautiful engine though ,going in to a swb 280 with 6 speed cut down to a pickup with a major pump tweek /boost  - scary drive i should think.

 bit of an update: auction ended----total  including shipping nearly 1600 euros .

Re: diesel engine + parts to convert your 460

read the thread and not much to add other than the fact that the uk seems the best market the sourcing a 606a engine from a complete w210.
