Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt / Reconditioned Engine | £3,500 - £5,000 | £2,200 - £3,500 | Complete engine removal and replacement with a unit featuring an upgraded MLS head gasket. | 100,000+ miles with proper maintenance. |
Our recommendation
Given the age and rarity of the Torneo, a full engine replacement with an upgraded MLS gasket is the most reliable long-term solution. Preventative replacement is not practical once failure symptoms appear.
