There is a good £600+ of parts in there. So £400 to remove, rebuild, and refit an engine isn't that bad, not when you consider what people pay just for the remove and refit when putting an C20 in.

I am friends with dave who is partner in v tuning,

One of the nicest and most honest reliable guys i know. he wont set you up for anything the car doesnt need and will give you a warranty on the engine. he has done endless rebuilds and phase kits with friends in the vxlscc and every1 of them has never had troubles. Very reputable guy and il guarantee will be one of the best people you will ever deal with.
