Will it come with a new loom etc? Or is it just the "metal bits"

Its the complete engine without inlet or turbo.

So everything from the sump to the rocker cover is new. I'll just bolt on my new hybrid turbo, powder coat my inlet and it'll all be pretty much new. I sourced a grear condion loom some months back too.

Its about the same price as buying an XE and doing a good rebuild on it.

If i was to start over i'd have bought a blown up LET for a few quid and exchanged it for a new one.

Keith

Is it new - new or recon ?
Thought Vaux could only supply recon units ?

Can't wait to see the shell once its been dipped & coated.

well end of the day, you wouldnt have done it if it was silly money.
