does anyone know what price scrap is at? Just phoned a bloke to take a car away for me and he said it's currently £15 per tonne. Seems low to me??

If you split the engine up into its separate metals (separate the steel, cast iron and aluminium) and cash the metal in at the scrap yard you will get a better price. Cast ally from gearbox housings and cylinder heads is worth quite a bit. When the scrap yards have to separate it, its not worth as much. Brake discs are worth a few bob as they are a good source of ductile iron.
