with current prices of Omega's it will prob be cheaper to buy a working example, and break!

Prob means you can get a free engine!

Buy a car for £500, strip it and get at least £500 in bits.

Would an engine from an auto go straight into a manual car?

No spigot bearing, so make sure you use the original one

I'm from Berkshire (SL6), had a look on Google but it would be good to know some recomended trusted breakers.
