    who rebuilds 2 1/4 engines Nthrn Rivers/Gold Coast

    A member of the LROC Sydney needs a SIII 4 cyl engine rebuilt/reconditioned but is having trouble finding a factory/workshop willing to do it. He's got no internet.

    He lives in the Northern Rivers of NSW but is even considering taking the engine to Sydney.

    Anyone have an idea of a workshop who is willing/experienced with Rover 4 cyl engines?

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I had one completely rebuilt by George at Land Vehicle Spares
    Really good job
    It had the works done and started first time (he asked me to come down and start it)
    George is a perfectionist and the work takes a long time so don't be in a rush
    The motor is running really well after 6 months on the road and 2500km

    I advised the member of LVS earlier, but he's still hoping for a workshop closer to home.

    I don't know that All Four x 4 do engine rebuilds, but it is likely they know someone a bit further north who does.

    I get the impression from our member that they are not doing engines any more (or may have closed up shop)

    there is an engine rebuilder on the gold coast in Burleigh, but I don't know if they would want to tackle it.


    I would normally give it a go, but my work commitments are way up, don't have time to fix my own landys.

    You could try Lee Mears engine reconditioning East Maitland NSW 49 33 7222, he rebuilt the engine in my Series 1 (for the previous owner) cheers Dennis
