Hi James,

Is this a standard rebuild, or looking for something special ?
There are several near to the both of us.

Regards,
Stuart.

I was thinking just a standard rebuild, but I'm open to suggestions for improvement.

Gerald Turner at GST in Newmarket has a good reputation with Elans.

If I required an engine rebuild another option would be Richard Cole at Coltec.
http://www.coltecracing.com/
Richard was ex Holbay, famous for their Lotus racing engines, and set up Coltec when Holbay closed. They used to be in our village which was very handy before they moved back to where Holbay first started in Hollesley Bay near Woodbridge (hence the name Holbay !)

There is also this company who advertise in the Club Lotus mag:
http://www.cambridge-rebores.co.uk/
These are really near to me but I have no knowledge of how good they are or their pricing compared to the others mentioned above. Has anyone used these? Worth you investigating?
I may need some work done on mine soon so I will be interested to hear who you went to and your experiences.
