ah - the engine was toast, then? sorry to hear this.
I've no recent experience of scrapping a car, i've heard of people getting up to £300.
ChasnotRobert-
Apparently so, the diagnostic machine seems to show recent error messages that would indicate something going wrong around the cam/pistons, then he found all valves registering 0 compression, which seems fairly clear that it's borked. Sigh.
Now looking to buy from a reputable dealer with a decent warranty. Fucking cars.

Any recommendation for getting the max from scrappers? I'm getting online quotes of ~£220 for a 2010 Golf, sound about right?
