Recon Engines - How many miles you clocked up?

Post by colouredFunk »

Hey people,

My 2.1 engine went poof on Friday in a big cloud of smoke! It's now sadly got a very big hole at the top of the main block!! Guessing one of the rods smashed through :(

So now I'm exploring what options I have. Not letting money be the main decider as I want to make the right decision for the future of the bus. (Within reason of course)

My main 2 options at the mo are; Elite 2.1 engine @ £1100. or a Vege 2.1 probably fitted by Jacks Garage they weren't too sure about the price as they wanted to see the van first (fair enough), but probably around £2k. I (used) to run it on gas, so Elite will be able to set that up at the same time.

I think the main 2 factors that will swing me are; warranty and mileage history from you peeps.

Soooo, what mileage have you reconers got out of your engines so far....?

Cheers all
