what engine is this??

aftanuun

recently bought this landy and the guy says its an old sherpa engine, how does one tell...........whom should i ask?

My neighbour has a 2.5derv sherpa engine and its different to this one. I think its a 2,25derv coz it couldn't pull jordans pants down

Looks like a standard 2.25

Yep 2.25 derv unit

I agree, that looks like a standard 2286cc oil burner.

so its a landy engine not the sherpa? I only wanna know for ordering glow plugs and filters etc.

IIRC some sherpas were fitted with rover engine as it was known as Freight Rover before it became LDV

Yup ... And it's definitely an engine

same as my series 3 diesel anyway

just a quick querry on this engine what model is it 10j 12j

i dunno where this (j) thingy comes from or why or what it all means but im willing to learn

Tis a 10j.........12j is the 2.5 N/A and 19j's the 2.5 turbo (all doozols)

We live and learn. I know what I'm looking at but up to now the numbers didn't mean a lot

expansion bottles dont work on series ,bottle thingy is the servo reservoir which yours wont have

so if i was to fit a disco master cylinder with a servo i guess id need one of these cyctern float ball looking thingys or a cleffer made airtight alternative of the same capacity

or you could fit a vac pump ,they use res as vac is taken from inlet manifold
