Witham Vehicle Specialists can do you a re-con series engine for £650 ish. <- seems like I got a bargain, they are now £895 + VAT
Only genuine parts are used in the re-con etc and its done by the army's Land Rover Specialists.
The one I have is top notch and runs like a dream.

1st post so be gentle...I have a Ex-MoD S3 109 with a dicky gearbox, it jumps out of reverse, and 2nd, 3rd when decelerating. I'm inclined to replace it with a recon unit, do Witham supply gearboxes as well as engines? If not who would you recommend and what price should I pay (limited research would suggest anything from £250 to £550!). Oh and the gearbox is fitted with (Fairey) overdrive...should this make a difference?

although no address is posted, and i dont know beaumont's first name, the fact that its stated as beaumonts in halifax, would sugest yes.
please note in my op, i didnt recomend them, merely told the op to google a place that works in what he was asking for.
i have not used them previously myself, i knew of them when i worked at transferbox in shipley (long time gone), and a mate used them for a recon 12J 4 years ago. initially he had problems with it (cant remember what, as i was not involved with it), but do know that just before xmas this year he was enquiring about 200tdi conversions as it went bump after 30000 miles.
i will link this thread to yours.
make your own minds up, personally i would'nt use them.

edit. thought i'd lost the post above during trying to link them. retyped with a half ****ed memory below.
while the address is not stated, the fact that its quoted as being in halifax, suggests yes.
while i did not recomend them, merely suggested the op google a company that works on what he was after.
i have not used beaumonts myself, i heard of them while working at transferbox in shipley in the early 90's. (long since gone)
a mate used them for a recon 12J about 4 years ago, and had initial problems (not sure what as had nothing to do with the refit), but do know that he's been enquiring about 200tdi conversions as its gone bump after 30000 miles
i will link your thread to this one.
