The saga continues... 
I spoke to the workshop yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) and they told me that the downpipes (from the engine into the exhaust) were too rusted to be reusable, so I needed replacements.
We tried a couple of options without luck, so I phoned up the breakers where I got the engine from and they said they'd be £125 plus £12 delivery. I bitched about the engine being delivered late and got the price down to £80.
And, yes, they're the pipes that originally came off the engine in the first place...
They promised next day delivery, so I just have to hope they get there early enough tomorrow to fit them so I can pick it up and use it in the evening...
