Engine replacement or rebuild on X-Type

Engine replacement or rebuild on X-Type
I'm no mechanic so just picking brains.
I'm in UK and just put my Jag in for a full service via ServiceStop online collect service. They called me later in day to say they will not service the car as it is only firing on 3 cylinders so it would be wasting money on service until I had engine sorted. I think it was really good that they didn't just take my £150 for service then tell me. So grateful for that.
Anyway, the mechanic that returned my car said that car needs a rebuild and this would cost between £1,000 to £2,500 for complete rebuild. Or he said If I buy a replacement engine they could just fit that for £500 over 3 days.
My question is, option one is not for me as the car is only worth about £1,000 -£1,500 so does anybody have any suggestions or advice that may help.
I love the car and really want to keep it.
I've been told that the 2lt desiel engine is a Mondeo transit van engine?

You could ask bertieboy if he has one to supply or supply and fit

No idea if it will but ask if a 2.2 will go in
