Their never in a rush to get anything done but I would'nt take my Cossie anywhere else. You can't argue with a shared 60 years experience of the RS brand!!!

Cheers guys I'm looking to rebuild my Frs engine as its smokey, either piston ring or stem seal. I only live round corner from Jano and Grove Rs and had a quote from Jano which I thought was very high especially as I can do this myself bar the machining shoukd it need it. Then a mate recommended me Grove Rs today so gonna give them a ring tomorrow.

Anyone tell me roughly what they charge for a rebuild?

cheers

Jano quoted me £450 labour for bottom end and £450 for labour on head, parts and machining extra! as per I can do most of this work myself bar the machining should it need it. and I certainly wouldn't charge that

Spoke to grove they're closed until Monday he said call him then let him know what spec I'm after and he'll give me a quote.
