Right i am going to be starting to look for an XE for my car soon, and I am guessing it is better to rebuild it before you put it in, for peace of mind etc.

So anyways the question is, what all is involved and what is the cost?

erm, im the wrong side of 2K with my "rebuild" but then its not exactly a standard engine. I reckon that if no major work needed doin (rebores etc) u could do it for around £300

Once you start doing a rebuld, then if you're going to make the effort, then you ought to do a thorough job. Which will end up costing you £600-£1000 before you know it.

So, if you want to save some money, just chuck it in and see what happens. The engines still pull really well at 150K. It's when they're getting up to 200K that you need to think about rebuilds more.
