The specialist salvager offered £400, which I'm surprised at to be honest, the same company paid £700 for a non runner D2 about two years ago and the price of scrap has rocketed since
D2 petrol has cats that have lot of precious metals that can be recovered but a lot less in D3 diesel cats/dpfs. When my D2 failed gearbox I made the deal with forum sponsors that I am keeping cats and wheels, put on cheap £40 set of wheels so that it can be rolled on trailer and they paid me £500. I then sold cats for scrap for £340
