Seriously Mike you would need to give us a little more info on the vehicle as you can't value something on a few chassis photos without even knowing what vehicle is resting on it!

Probably around a grand if your paying someone else
Depends what " reconditioned " means ln that add - id be looking for a rebuild head and new pistons /rings with reciepts to proove ideally from a professional
I found a low milage 200tdi engine from a disco for 250 to fit myself !
That piston heads one has a chequerplate xmember - there is only one reason for that ! Tin worm !

you would get a rotted disco for about £400-£700 an you should be able to easily get someone to do it for £300-ish (maybe a bit less) or have a go yourself i don't mined giving you a hand put it in

so it would be a new engine and rear crossmember id be looking at replacing.
the engine i suppose could just wait untill it does die, the cross member would be replaced, assuming it is rotten and just hidden by chequer plate.
