My parents Renalt Scenic broke down today, AA reckons its only been firing on 2 cylinders and prob need 2 get all 4 replaced.

How big a job is this and any ideas on a rough cost?

Thanks

Cyliders? Is that pistons, bores, piston rings? Loads of stuff that could be wrong...

New engine sounds a cheaper option. Not a problem as you can find them from breakers... Looking at a few ££ though.

That could be anything from knackered spark plugs to no piston rings. Need to get it checked over by a proper mechanic as some of the AA people are known to not be particuly good mechanics. I have experienced a few bad ones
