Honestly mate - save your money and get anything other than a standard diesel engine. 200tdi would be the best bet. Readily available and will last forever.

If you don't/can't go down the route of a major mods to fit the TDi, the 2.5 diesel is well suited to a series, and are usually cheap to buy. They are very similar to the original engine, just a bit more powerful.

If a series 2.25 has started to chuck oil out of the rocker breathers and oil filler is that due to the rings been worn?or maybe just blockages in the crank breathers?

if a 2.25 or 2.5 is breathing heavy its either head gasket or very commonly bore wear ,crank breather is the cap
