[Mr Mark Sparks]

my 56 plate connect with 58k on it (company van) went in with a splutter and lack of power it was an injector about £400 quid to sort , then i got a call to say there was no compression on cylinder 2 and it needs a new engine!!

looks like £500-£600 plus a garage to fit .......

How if i may ask can they not rebuild the block with a new cylinder liner , piston , rings , is it a main dealer or a garage that you use a lot ??

There's plenty of places all over the country do reconditioned engines for all sorts of vehicles. I'd have thought you'd get it all sorted for under 2 grand. Even less if you just go for secondhand.

Trouble is the main dealer can only quote for a new engine.

I've rebuilt and tuned many engines over the years. No reason why a recon unit shouldn't last as long as a new one (like anything mechanical though, it needs looking after!!).
