Default V50 2Litre Diesel

Hi,

I was wondering how I could find out about the wrecking market over there for V50 2.0 Diesels. What I think I'd like to do is buy a smushed car complete, have someone wedge it into a container and ship it stateside for a Amazon stationwagon project I have brewing...

How do you suppose I would go about figuring out how to do this?
And yes, this is another thinly veiled Bio-D project in the making...


Thanks in advance for your replies,

Regards - kDavid

Huh. I am overwhelmed by the non-response.
Is this forum active?

I have been researching some more, and find that in 1991 Volvo introduced the the 2.4D (D5244T), which may be the powerplant I am after.
Would anyone know about purchasing wrecks, or just motors?

Thanks,

-kDavid

Try contacting the following places:

Braydon Motor Co.,
Downs Road Service Station,
Downs Road,
London E5 8QY.
Phone +44 20 8985 2255

Charles Trent Ltd.,
568/578 Ringwood Road, Poole, Dorset

The latter gets wrecked fleet / press cars from Volvo UK and from franchised dealers.
