Hoppy,

A word of caution - do a search on Google - http://www.rac.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?...ce-engines

Not sure if that link works but I looked into these last year when i had a problem with my old V8 Disco.

Sounds like they give a price then decide there is a lot more work (like double the cost)

I've not used them and my view is only from reading reports on google etc.

Good luck

I would highly recommend Ivor Searle they supplied a recon engine for our VW LT van, we went on to do over 100,000 miles in it without a single problem. Thumbs Up

Link to their website - http://www.ivorsearle.co.uk/remanufactured_engines.htm good luck..

I thought they were on watchdog, could be wrong but 1st choice engines rings a bell, stay clear.
