Buying and fitting advice
- Wet-belt engines must have the oil pump and belt kit renewed with the engine — this is the single biggest cause of repeat failures.
- Flush or replace the oil cooler and pipework before first start.
- Exchange basis: £350 surcharge refunded once your old engine reaches us.
- Stick to the correct low-SAPS oil specification and shorten the service interval on short-journey vehicles.
