    I know it sounds odd but besides the engine gone its mechanically perfect.

    Body is decent and its 170k miles. In silver.

    So the search for an engine went pretty badly? Which bit bust?

    Would breaking it yourself be an option. Sell all the doors, lights, seats, gearbox, good engine parts, wings and whatever else and then just weigh the bare shell for what it's worth in scrap steel.

    Why not get an engine for it?

    1.9 are ten a penny, 2.0 are the much fewer and harder to source, I'm thinking yours is the latter....

    works out quite dear. Engine without injectors is 1500-2000. And injectors are 200-400 euro

    I'd have thought the country is littered with broken vivaros, primastars and trafics. Can't see much demand for parts that aren't engine/gearbox.

    Your confusing the vans. The pre 07 had some engine trouble and massive gearbox issues. The 07 on its rare for a gearbox to go. But seems can give occasional engine trouble.

    Indeed, but aren't the bits you're getting rid of (doors, interiors, body panels etc) common to all models? Aside from the gearbox (which you're saying doesn't go much), is there anything of value or in-demand there?
