    If your car ever suffers a break down a simple repair will often get it back on the road. With a serious failure, the whole motor unit may need replacing and this can often be expensive. A less costly alternative is to search for rebuilt diesel engines rather than buying a brand new manufacturer made power plant for your vehicle.

    If your unit is not too badly damaged, replacing the engine block, crank or the head may solve the problem. A factory unit can run into many thousands of dollars, so replacing some of the components could save you money. Replacement spares can range in price and will be dependent on which parts are required to fix the fault.

    A qualified engineer will be able to offer you a rebuild and it is advisable to get as many quotes as you can. There are many web based companies who offer this service and most will have power plants ready to fit. In some cases it can be a lot cheaper to buy one of these reconditioned motors and not send in your old one for attention.

    A reconditioned unit for common vehicles will range in price from around 1500 to 6000 dollars. Engines for older classics will cost more due to the fact that spares are harder to come by and not all mechanics are qualified to work on older cars. If your vehicle is an older model it may be beneficial to seek the advice of a motoring club for advice.

    If you have to send your block away for a rebuild you will need to have qualified mechanics to remove it from your car instead of doing it yourself. The technicians will have all tools needed and can extract it ready for you to send. The job can sometimes be done in your workshop if you have all of the correct tools and heavy lifting gear.

    Couriers will price their carriage according to the gross weight of your package to be sent and an engine can be expensive. Some companies will include the shipping in the final cost of your rebuild and this is a good money saving option. When sending a motor by road, make sure that everything is well protected with the correct crates and source insurance cover in case of damage.

    In some cases after having a unit rebuilt, it will be under a guarantee provided by the engineering company. This will normally be a ten to a hundred thousand miles or three to five years depending on the terms and conditions. If you purchase a rebuilt motor you should be aware that any future work on it will have to be done by the rebuilding firm to maintain the warranty.

    Using the option of a rebuild is friendly on your pocket but it can affect the resale value of your vehicle. It is also worth noting that if you wish to enter a car into a show it can be disqualified for not running with its original engine. Your insurers will also need to be told of major changes if they keep your engine serial numbers on file.
