    have not heard of them before

    HOWEVER,just done a search on them on google and it seems they have been investigated by trading standards for poor practises,if you do a google search on the company but spell it centre and not center ,you will a result come up with the LANDROVER FORUM,click on there and you will find some very intresting feedback.

    Based on reading a few of those posts,id steer well clear on the company.

    Re: RECONDITIONED ENGINE

    Hi --- Reading the reviews left by other people, do not use these, "Cowboys" as they have been described...... there are pages of reviews on the web from ripped of customers, some even say that they remove engines from scrap cars then steam clean them telling the customer they fitted a replacement reconditioned engine. !!!!

    The problem from a legal point is there is no accepted definition of what actually constitutes, "reconditioned" so unless you take cautious measures, there is very little recourse when it all goes wrong.

    Shop around locally for a reputed engine rebuilder / machine shop that comes recommended by others, then get quotes and a full detailed specification of what they are doing to your engine for the price quoted, and the time taken to do it. Most importantly that they stand by a written warranty of their work for either 60k miles or a period of 5 years whichever comes first.

    I had dealings with this company a number of years ago and I would NEVER recommend them. They are a bunch of disreputable ... who should have been put out of business YEARS ago!

    SHARK!

    Re: RECONDITIONED ENGINE

    Hi

    Has someone heard of "Presige Engines" for reconditioned engines , in worcester? Also can anyone give me some advise on how can I find a reputable one and would they give me a break down of the engine? The trading standard agency told me that this businees does not have a trading standard cover unless someine complains!?
