Engine overhaul in the UK
Peters view on UK engine overhaulers is somewhat bleak but has a basis in truth, there are a lot of indifferent engine shops in the UK and Northern Europe.
On the bais of 20 years in the maintenance business I would recomend Nicolson Macclaren or Eisenburg both I deal with on a regular basis, another guy in the Wokingham area seems to be getting good reviews but I cant for the life of me remember his name.
The rest of them are not realy worth bothering with and dont be tempted to use a very atractivly priced outfit in Denmark they are probably the worst engine shop I have ever had dealings with. My experience with them is a 100% failure rate before 600 hours.
There is a cost of doing a job properly and that is why you are unlikely to be able to slide a cigarette paper between a quote from N-M or Eisenburg...........anything cheaper is likely to be rubbish.
