Hi Andy,

Turner engineering do new engines, BUT they also do correctly engineered engines with 'top hat' liners & sealed bottoms to overcome the water/liner problems.
Have a word with them.

The Landrover engines can be had 'new' but are made in Weston super mare, & the last one I fitted I had to reseal the sump because of leaks.....didn't inspire convidence. (although Landrover would have done ths under warranty)

Bear in mind, to do the job properly, all the hoses & rad need renewing.
Many, many thousands of pounds, make sure the customer wants to pay. I usually find it costs twice the price of the stripped engine by time you have finished inc labour!!

Regards
Steve

Thanks Steve, how did you know it would be a water/liner it was suffering with, not like they suffer from this problem (NOT!). Yes the customer is aware of the cost and and what is involve we change the head gasket the other month (telling the customer this wont cure your problem only mask it for a short time but still they chose to change the gasket and not the engine)so we have changed the rad, water pump most of the hoses etc.

Many thanks for the number I will give them a ring in the morning I tried Land Rover but they didn't seem to be interested in the job it was really hard trying to get them to ring us back with a price.

Many thanks Again
Andy

Hi Andrew, I fitted a new engine to a p38 1998 4.6 about 18 months ago. The engine came from land Rover, retail was about 3.5k plus vat, but with a good discount. Looked at other suppliers, RPI were about the same price, their engine came fully built, the Land Rover one was without manifolds etc, but RPI wouldnt give me any discount. Didnt try vege as their warranty dept has p####d me off before.
Customer was happy to pay the money(he is not short of a few quid) the total bill came to 6.5k inc vat which was more than the car was worth, but included a new water pump, o2 sensor, exhaust and a service.

Got one, Many thanks
