haha i don't disbelieve you, i think i used 3 spanners and 5 sockets and a big lever bar lol

Here's how she is looking currently :( Engines out replacements just getting a paint then the new engine can go back in, had to order a slave cylinder as mine is knackered. It was the first time i have taken an enigne ou tthe series so i have been taking my time and making notes, although they...

Cheers bud, i've always wanted a marine blue, not sure why but i love the colour :)

haha this is so true!

Just as a little update, managed to get the old girl running (after it being in storage for about 4 years) Starter motor seized so took it off free'd it up and it fired up straight away! Shame the oil started p1ssing out of the inlet :( So picking up a replacement 5 bearing 2.25d tonight and...

Ok bud cheers for that :5bcheers2:

Sorry completely forgot about those wheels, going to have to give them a miss sorry to mess you about, as been having a nightmare with this engine (hopefully doing a 7 hour round trip tomorrow night to pick one up) The engine has taken my priority.

Thanks divie, i have found a good online guide that has shown the differences between the 3 bearing and 5 bearing engines and judging by the pictures i have sent it is a 5 bearing engine which is what i was after. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the reply. I was under the impression that mine was a 5 bearing being later, and that the early Ones used a 3 bearing crank setup. My question is that will a complete 3 bearing engine bolt straight into a later bay with the 5 bearing setup, are the ancillaries the same etc.

Hi all, i tried the search but couldn't find the information i need. I have a 1982 s3 2.25d with suspected head crack, i have a potentially found a decent 2.25d on ebay but is described as just a 'series 2.25 diesel engine', am i right in thinking that this will fit and there were no...

Can I get some pictures please? I'm interested but I'm Still trying to source a 2.25d quite (which is the only thing stopping it getting mot'd), messaged so many people on eBay and the only one that is any good is the £175 but it's in west Wales which is about a 8 hour each way trip :(

Didn't realise you left your number in your previous post, I am actually currently on Spain on holiday so only been popping on here when I have a break in a place with wifi. Would you sell your wheels seperately as ideally wanted to keep the set I have currently fitted as a spare set. I fly back...

Thanks for the offer but I have a defender tdi that I'm waiting for, just need this 2.25 so I can get mine mot'd and niggle any other small issues she has before the 200tdi conversion that I'm hoping to do over Christmas. How much are you after for the wheels? Pm me if you like. Cheers

Cheers I'll have a look now taa

Right guys does anyone have or know anybody selling a 2.25d need one asap! Made some more progress with this and bought it some goodies, I'll post when I'm back from holiday.

Tbf the logbook on this 1982 88" logbook does state that the revenue weight is also 3499kg gross. So you could probably blag it. Just checked it. Cheers for the heads up and i doubt i will be heading anywhere near the m25 anytime soon, let alone in this peach :D

Nice one, plans sound brill!

She looks a beauty! Definitely need some standard steels back on mine! I'm not overly clued up on the brake upgrade situation but i was under the impression that because mines a 1982 it already has the 11" brake setup up front. This is just from dribs and drabs i have read though and i don't...

Blimey didn't know that thanks for the heads up! But i generally avoid london like the plague lol, i'm not far from the underground system so just jump on the train if i need to get into the capital :) Exactly what i think, glad its not just me that gets excited about old rusty steel wheels...
