Hey, whats the price to recondition an engine? garage said mines broke and needs reconditioning

Rover 25 1.4 16v twin cam


i know it isnt a rover fourm but i miss this forum lol

depends what needs doing.. could be looking anywhere from £800 upwards for a basic engine rebuild.. probs more tbh. Would be cheaper to get a low milage second hand engine from a scrapped car.

Headgasket? They're chronic. Problem with owning a car with no current manufacturer... Nobody to produce spare parts.

exchange and mart and auto trader have large recon engine sections, plenty of specialist dismantlers to pick from

Yes it would be cheaper to source a previously reconditioned engine or used engine and have your one replaced.

However having your current one rebuilt would mean you know it has actually been reconditioned and that you a paying for it.

You might get people saying they are supplying a recon engine when infact its an engine which has just been steam washed
