Flate Rate - VAT allowed on replacement engine?

If I am on the flat rate scheme, am i able to reclaim input VAT on the cost of a new engine for my existing van? the cost is £2400 (inc vat) I am assuming that this is regarded as a capital expense rather than simply a repair.? Many thanks in advance

Hi,
