2.5N/A wanted

After many hours weighing the cost involved fitting a new engine to my series 109 I have decided on the 2.5 N/A. I was going to go with the V8 but the one I have the offer of has done quite high mileage and when I think about with my sensible head I can't afford the fuel. The TDI engine are so expensive. I am scared of buying an old 2.5 TD due to the reliability issues so that leaves me with the N/A 55mph with an overdrive fitted will be just fine.

If there is anyone with a good one with all the bits that they want to sell and would not mind sticking it on a pallet

f.ilter jar another ption have is rebuild your engine, at least you wil know the history of it,and piece of mind , more so than buying a foooooooooooked engine, i would suggest going into paddocks web site and pricing the parts up, you will be very supprised at the low cost of parts incomparison with other vehicle parts, its a job worth thinking about, also i have an egine which is a 2.5 2286cc but the head was knackered on mine and i swapped them over, it as no injection pump fitted but i have 1 but that is knackered as the seals have gone inside, the bottem end is very good pistons &bores are tidy and as far as i know the crank and cam shaft are good, and its the 5 bearing crank, give it some thought m8 as there are people only to glad to sell you a duff engine, good luck regards jim

where the foooooooooooook is bog land

i have a fair source for tdi but ya take it its yours unless its totally then he does get anotherone.plenty 300tdi.2.5na etc what you want.can put on a pallett.
the tdi i got is ok.

where does this 2,5 na need to go?

I have a good one here .... \two actually.

yep plenty of 2.5 here too.so ya covered probably.I shoto complete the map.uld imagine buster comeing up with summat in scotland

charlesy i checked this bloke as to where he is from, it says over the bridge in bog land. my assumption on this is wales its always peeing with rain here,

I could pop one in a giant trebuchet and fling it over the severn

id have to go some to clear the brecons

Thanks guys, so much choice, what to do???

Good advice Brnocz, starting with a rebuild does sound like a good plan but I would rather find a good running engine? and get it in there. I already have a fair bit to do to the rest of the 109 and have kind of made a plan that I would rather not add to

Hey Beast, Thanks again but I reckon a 200TDI will cost a fair bit more than the 2.5N/A I helped a mate fit a 300TDI to his 110 it was a bugger.

So who minds a pallet service to the Scottish Highlands IV postcode (it's gonna cost me) is arranged for a 2.5 N/A

how many beer tokens are we talking about for the engine

Thanks again folks!!!

I tried to send FilterJar a PM but his settings don't allow it.

If he will indicate WHERE he is based we can discuss.

let me know when/where abouts your going and i'll get some info about places to stay if you need - one place in particular we love is a little BnB on Portree harbour, on the upper floor - they have very low windows so when you open your eyes in the morning (yer heads still on the pillow) you will see this - quality isnt great as they were taken on a phone
