I love that colour!
Mike, be careful with a used motor, the early ones had coil packs and leads, the later ones pencil type coil packs.
The ZT and freelander had different sumps.
The ZS had a change of dipstick and the way it fixed in the sump at some point.
Ideally you want to have the replacement engine leak down tested first, it to have no or little gunk in the inlet and when you drop the sump for it to look like its been serviced regular.
Full service history with a motor is a nice touch, but very rare.
If your not in a rush, I have 3 motors that I need to do a leak down test on, two of the 3 have good history (1 was serviced every year/10k with evidence, I nearly sold this to scott briddlecombe with the bio green zs, glad he backed out!!), I will be selecting the best one as a base for a race car, but the other if good will moved on.
Good Luck with the car.
