Thanks for taking the time to patronise me.
Perhaps you haven't, understandably, followed the whole story.
We are where we find ourselves now and dealing with it. certainly not in a state of misery and still enjoying a relatively easy life.
Earlier advice here suggested that temporary import of spare parts was covered by a protocol. Because we were living an easy life here, and have a mechanic we can trust, we chose that path.
My calculation was that if I could stay where I am, having a nice time, whilst the engine is swapped, that would be the best option.
If that doesn't work and I wanted towing anywhere, I'd use the open return on ferry ticket and abandon car in Spain. Not a problem.
So, for anyone else reading this, who might have an interest in Temporary Admission of spare parts..
The protocol is there, in black and white, it's not as simple as it first appears but if it works out I'll share the secret.
Thanks again for the support, apologies if I come over as somehow needy, we are actually quite resourceful and resilient
