They solved a big problem for me and saved me lots of money. I am delighted with the service I have received from them. Have a look at their website where you can read a bit more about this company.

Give them a call on +44 1246 272227 or email them on Their list includes Toyota, so you may be lucky and find that they do one for your car. They do thousands of engines every year and do ones for many different makes of car. You also get a one year's parts and labour warranty with the engine. You can have up to about 3 months to get your engine back to them and all you have to do is call them when you are ready as the return price is included in the shipping price. This is like a deposit, so that they will then have another engine to rebuild from yours and the process can begin again.

They add an additional surcharge on top of the price of the new engine which you get back when you return your old engine. Shipping was £180 sterling and it arrives in a specially made crate which you keep to put your old engine into for shipping back to them. Vege had no problem shipping to Ireland and the engine arrived in only 3 days. In fact, it was probably as cheap as it would have been if I had got one from a scrapyard and paid for gaskets etc. It was much cheaper than if I had paid for my engine to be rebuilt and way cheaper than a new engine from the manufacturer. They sold me a remanufactured engine for my car with no fuss. They were polite, helpful and knowledgeable. They are a company that do nothing but engine rebuilds (or 'remanufacturing' as they call it as engines are as good as, if not better than new). Just as I was beginning to give up hope, I was recommended a place in the UK called Vege. I'm sure if I had been looking to buy a new car or an engine for one that was less than three years old I'd have got on fine, but having to explain to them what one of their own engines was every time I called them didn't give me great confidence. I was prepared to go to the manufacturer for a new engine, but found that equally frustrating.

The expense soon adds up, and pretty soon, getting one from a scrapyard doesn't seem like such an economical option - plus you won't even know if it works before you've paid for all that! If you can't put it in yourself, you'll have to pay someone to do it and it'd be wise to get a complete set of gaskets and belts, water pump etc for it before you put it in your car. You'll get no guarantees the engine even works, and you mightn't even get to hear what car the engine came out of or what happened the car it was in. I did find one, but you have to remember that you're buying an unknown quantity when you get an engine from a scrapyard.

Then I spent several weeks calling around various scrapyards. When I needed an engine rebuild, I spent many frustrating weeks exploring several options.įirst, I was going to get my engine rebuilt, but found engineering and rebuilding companies were so busy that they could afford to pick and choose jobs and weren't particularly interested in taking my money (thousands) because it wasn't one they were used to working on often.
