Hello,
I am looking for an address where they can overhaul the complete engine. Any references?
Even though the car is from Mainland Europe, I guess I have more chance in the UK to find a good one.
Too many 'no we don't do' here.
Volkswagen Touareg V10 (2009 reinforced for local traffic)
Lotus Elan 74'000 Km (1992, project)
Alfa Giulia (1971, mothballs)

What do you plan to do exactly? Does it really need to be overhauled at only 74000 km?
I think I read in the workshop manual that the crank shaft is not overhaulable anyway.
(As for the address, I don't know, sorry)

Get any bits you need mailed over and then get someone to do the work if you can't do it yourself. However, I strongly doubt any engine internals will be outside manufacturing tolerances after that distance. What are the symptoms you have?
But if you do want somewhere, then I used here:

yes be very careful of the crank case tolerance . i had one of mine done and went below it . then sourcing one was nigh on impossible and that was 7 years ago .
shells and bearings where available from rock autos

It looks like engine parts in Europe are really rare for the Isuzu 1.6T :O I wasn't thinking it could be that rare, not that we have plenty over here, but I do have spare motors and some engine parts as well.
