hi, newbie on here, ish, i am looking for a recon 1.9 dg engine, can anyone recomend anywhere to get one from, i woz going to get one from elite engines but not so sure now after reading bad posts about them on viz?

help!!!

Do you need an engine? whats wrong with it?

viz??? what the satire magazine??

No one here has had a bad experience...

its goosed mate, water in oil, low oil pressure etc, its had it, any suggestions guys??

talk to elite.. tell them your concerns.
I'm sure the warranty they offer is good.. Ian Hulley had one and went on a 2500 mile trip on it.. no bother Ermie has had three for various vans and so on

wot? he got his engines from elite then?? the guys actualy sound bob on and pretty genuine, do you know of anywhere else i could get one from if i dont go down the elite road?

thanks for your time by the way.

I've seen quite a few vans with Elite engines in them and they seem just fine

Gasure (famous on here for their work on T25's) fit them and they have a reputation to keep.

Best if you can to let Elite fit it (it's free by the way !!).
That way you can be sure it is all done right and that their guarantee will be honoured (in the unlikely event of a problem).

I think Gasure are recommended by Elite as trustworthy fitters, but they will charge some dosh of course for doing it.

thanks, i mite try gasure as im up at preston lancs, cost waay toooo much to tow it down south.

do they suppl engines to?

You'd have to check with them, but I am pretty sure they will get an Elite recon and fit it.

There is a link in my sig to their website. (they did my LPG conversion and I am very pleased with that)

It's always worth asking "Billy739" on here as he often has used engines for sale and is a very fair bloke to deal with.

If you've got breakdown cover, then you could always breakdown somewhere and get towed to Elite, no?

Course I didn't tell you that...
