What parts to replace, if any, before installing pre loved 300tdi

[robdav]

I have come across a 300tdi that has about 250,000klm on it. I want to replace my current engine, which is burning oil, with it and was wondering whether, with that sort of klm's, I could get away with a straight swap as I know its history.

Given the labour involved in the change over would I be better advised to replace some old bits with new even though I know this one burns virtually no oil and had a new head fitted at about 200,000klm.

So, what to replace if anything, on the replacement.

I look forward hearing what you guys think.

At an absolute minimum - the rear welch plug. I would also be looking at the rear main seal, the clutch (if manual) and the seal that goes on the gearbox input shaft.
