Do a major restoration (8)

I believe the answer is:

overhaul

(Other definitions for overhaul that I've seen before include "'Repair, renovate (8)'" , "Check-up" , "Repair fully and renew" , "Recondition" , "Examine and make any necessary repairs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
