Engine builders Essex

[Radders226]

I'm looking to get my 1600 GT xflow engine rebuilt. 

Does anyone know of any good reliable engine builders, preferably in South Essex?

I had considered Specialised Engine in Grays, but so many bad reviews on google, etc have put me off a bit.

Thanks

also if you contact pristine bodyworks in stambridge, they know a good one, ian aka munch on here has just had an engine rebuilt by their man

the one in wickford, call Dave on 07958 230516, again i know someone very pleased with his work

all are local

had some dealings years back with the one from grays, if you let him do the machine work, and you know enough about that stuff, and put your engine back together yourself, it's possible, but he dosn't keep his appointment, keeps changing things, says a lot don't worry, then you know you probaly get f......, in the end ervery thing went well for me.

just can't recommend him, i think try the ones from ray.

cheers marcel

the one in Grays, if its the one im thinking off, i am going back a few years, but they cocked up 2 transit engines for the firm i owned, then when the warranty was accepted, they swapped the engines our for different PS rated ones without saying or asking, all be it a few years after, but the timing chain kits purchased for the vans werent any good, as the engines were different

Gosnays Engineering in Mawney Road Romford used to have a good reputation in the past. Don't know if they're worth a bit of research.
