I'm struggling to find any that cheap on your favourite site Phil, here are some of the ones I've seen that have ended recently:
This one has an engine issue and 6 months MoT and ended at £795:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321078747762This one admittedly is low mileage with full MoT but went for £1295:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150998708509This one with a long MoT fetched £1120:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330873908934This quite badly rotten one with no MoT went for £1850! (Low mileage though):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190799832189Where are all the cheap ones? The only cheap 300Tdi Auto I can find on eBay that sold recently was a non runner all the way down in London that sold for £485. Obviously at that distance away it is going to cost me a fair few quid to get it back up here so it probably wouldn't work out that cheap all in...

Hi
I have been keeping a look out for a disco to use auto box with 300tdi for 6 months
I agree with your findings
Are you looking for the none drive by wire which is about pre 96 pre N reg
If you get one with the later electronic injection pump you will have more work fitting the ecu or fitting the mech pump& injectors
I prefer the mech fuel pump as the reliability & cost of the electronic is in question
I prefered to pay a bit more for a disco with an mot so it can be fully tested prior to purchase & used until it wont pass an mot.
The engine/box to be removed can then be advertised & the buyer can road test it
As I have purchased a 300tdi 90 I am no longer looking for an engine/box & selling my 90 after 17 years
