Tried a 'wanted' ad on here? Perhaps have the title as something like: 'Engine courier wanted Chesterfield to Derby' and see what happens?
Failing that if he's still going look on eBay for a user called motorcross_123 (I think that's his name) as he does palletised deliveries.

had engine couried from somerset to sussex a couple of years ago cost 55 pounds except the driver unloaded it outside my house leaving it on a pallet across the public path and knocked off oil filter dumping oil on path much to annoyance of all concerned
having said that have bit the bullet and picked em up myself albeit with company van and fuel justifying it as an early xmas bonus
couldnt do it now though cos i drive an hearse for a living

I got quoted about £60 from www.elitecourier.co.uk, and that's for a 140kg straight six Bimmer diesel lump. As long as you can get a pallet and secure it to it, you should be fine.  |

Yeh, any normal pallet Co. will do it for around the 50 mark if its palletised and secure

Make sure theres no oil in it at all! This is what's concerning me too. Although I've drained the oil from it, there is bound to be some left in it. Plus stuff like PAS fluid in the pump and water in the block. I take it courier companies go ape if your package pee's all over their van? |
