my p38 2.5dse was over heating and blew a rad so changed thermostat , rad , water pump and tank cap. was fine for about month and half then temp went up rapid and blew the rad again!

have taken head off today and found a few tiny tiny cracks near the injector inlets so am now asuming this was the problem.

any ideas where i can find a sensibly priced engine or anybody reckomend any converstions for other engines??

Apparantly, the Vauxhall Omega uses the same engine as of course does the BMW 525D so you have a good choice of doner vehicles.:D
