It's not my place to say what was paid for the engine as it was nothing to do with me.
Lets just say Sandy will be a welcome figure in the clio scene if he goes down that route!! lol.
Do what I did... Bought a set of wheels and tyres from yate car breakers (£60) and used them whilst mine were being refurbed.

I think my mate panicked though and just assumed the bloke was trying to rip him off.
