What This Service Involves
When a Jaguar engine has already failed, our workshop takes over. We don't diagnose the cause - we assess the damage, strip the engine, identify what can be saved, and give you a clear path forward.
The process begins the moment your vehicle arrives. We carry out a full visual inspection of the engine bay and ancillaries, then remove the engine for a complete strip-down. Every component is cleaned, measured, and inspected against factory tolerances. We then prepare a detailed report with photographs, a repair plan, and a fixed-price quote for the work needed.
If you choose to proceed, we machine, replace, and rebuild the engine to our standard specification, then refit it and road-test the vehicle before handover.
