Volvo S40 2.0 MY2001 - breaking

Sadly, here I have my beloved Volvo S40 2.0 MY2001 for parts or repair. It has developed some sort of engine fault which initially was rather quiet rattling coming from the engine within 2-3k rev range and it lasted like that for couple of months or so, but today in the morning it suddenly became really really loud and scary knocking sound right from the engine start (imagine heavy hammer hitting a block of metal). Basically, the engine has gone bust. My garage has suggested whole engine replacement rather than fixing the current one, however I was intending to sell the car within about 6-8 months anyway and I didn't want to spend too much money on it.

The car was rather well maintained inside out since I've bought it back in June 2008. It has 134k miles on the clock, out of which approx. 30k I made myself. I've kept my personal service history (attached to this post for anyone interested), plus I've got service book and receipts, MOT certificates etc. from previous owners too. I'd prefer to sell it off in single piece for spares or repair, however I'm also happy to break and sell single parts from it. I am not very experienced in breaking parts - I'm OK with simple'ish parts but for more advanced things (ie. from the engine compartment) ideally you'd need to come and take it off yourself.

Awaiting offers and questions, most preferred way to contact is via email adlorenz [at] gmail [dot] com, or within this thread. I am able to rip parts off the car pretty much only during weekends or late evenings, so it might take a while before given part becomes available for delivery. I will accept Paypal payments for parts and postage to UK addresses only - please contact me to find out part availability and delivery costs. The car is located in Feltham (Heathrow Airport area) if anyone wants to come and pick parts up in person.

AFAIK they are all fine and in good condition, but I will double check indicators for any potential issues before taking them off and let you know - it might be tomorrow, as I'm getting back home quite late tonight.

Paypal payment and delivery address to adlorenz [at] gmail [dot] com please. Thanks.

Not quite willing to sell wheels (not yet at least), for reasons I described before, see:
