I used them about 10 years ago. Terrible engine wear and oil leaks everywhere with low mileage (1 pint of oil per petrol tank approx was needed)
They said it was nothing to do with them, I must have used the wrong petrol and they charged me near ?300 to change the oil and say "the engine is pretty good actually" The 1.9 was putting out less power than a 1.6. Maybe they have changed but personally I would never use them again nor recommend anyone else did.

Fantastic service and price was ok, if you're in the owners club then you will get a discount on parts. It's an old fashioned workshop with all the machinery needed and the knowhow about how to use it all properly, they do EVERYTHING inhouse. Apparently a few years ago another company set up near them with a similar name and did some REALLY bad rebuilds, which gave them a bad reputation. I have no probs about using them again............but hopefully not for another 10 years <wlEmoticon-smile[1].png> Look in the club mag for the logo.

Hi all With nearly 200k on the clock (including 10 seasons of the RAF Sprinting Championship) it's time to get my engine reconditioned. (Well, after Curborough on Saturday anyway!) Initially I was looking at Specialised Engines for a stage 1 upgrade, but some reports on this forum were less than encouraging so I'm interested in where people have gone and any recommendations. I'm near Peterborough and will be transporting the engine in my trailer, so somewhere not too far away would be ideal. The current plan is to do this over Winter, I have a list of other jobs on the car anyway. It'll be the first time my 2+2 has been off the road for any length of time in over 21 years, so I guess it deserves a short break!
