My 156 Selespeed (April 2000) needs a new engine, also the Actuator has needed doing for some time.

Is it worth repairing?

How much is a recon engine? Where can I get one?

It needs a new or reconditioned engine (there are damaged pistons? etc I dont know the ins and outs of it). Once something goes seriously wrong with an engine most garages do not presumably find it economical to repair these things in house, and so recommend purchasing a new engine. Do you know where one can purchase a cheap engine?

Actuator - well this has broke once before on my Alfa (fortunately under warranty). So I reckon I've still got one.

Get with the programme!

Bloody hell :eek: ... dont sell it to a breaker, get the parts from them, you'll find that they are allot cheaper.
Do you know exactly what is wrong with the engine? if its the timing belt thats snapped then you dont nees a new engine get the old one repaired.

Try find-a-part or partfinder on the net as well, you just type all your details of what you need and the breakers phone you with prices of the parts you require, I've used them a couple of times, its a good system.
