ENGINE REPLACEMENT
Anyone got any recommendations for a trustworthy supplier and fitter of recon D3 engines (2.7 diesel)?
Mine has gone and I need a replacement pretty quickly, I don't want to be ripped off with extra work etc.

A decent scrappy would give you 3 months warranty, is it a year for brand new....
