Blown engine on Iveco?

[Burgess]

What year is it out of interest?

Speak to Simon at Breakwell diesel testing near Dudley - I don't think you'll be into as much money as you've been quoted for a rebuild. They have a sister company that rebuilds Diesel engines and turn vans around superfast. Great people to deal with too.

Our 6 toner has so far been very good.. The 3.5 however... not so. The irritating thing is you can get the 5 and 6 toners for similar or less money then the 3.5 ones..

All trucks over 3.5 tons now require a Driver CPC if you carry anything other than tools of the trade, hence the price drop

[Joel77]

That price you've been quoted seems well over the top for both replacement engine & the rebuild price is tro the roof

 

As your already well in to the truck with the body & clutch you'd be better of getting a complete 2nd hand engine to drop in & should cost you £1000 top wack & 150/250 to have fitted plus oil n filters

 

Then you have spare pump, injectors, turbo, etc for spares

If the miles are reasonable and no rust and the rest is tidy I would look for a good engine £1000 - £1700 things come in threes and you are through it now at least it's not a Land Rover.

Rebuild the current engine £4000 (12 month warranty)

 

Shouldn't be paying anything like that; more accuracy required ref what the "rebuild" actually entails. New short block let alone existing with crank, rods, pistons, liners etc, cam ream bore, head pressure test, valves blah blah blah should be nowt like £4k.

 

"Blown engine" - don't get fobbed off with that term in isolation.

I am just a tree man.. I don't like the dirty oily bits when they don't work.. Luckily my business partner deals with that side of the business. I will pass on your advise thanks.
