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

elsie · Jan 8, 2012

Yep 2.25 derv unit

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

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

Oldseadog · Jan 9, 2012

Yup ... And it's definitely an engine

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

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

jamesmartin · Jan 31, 2012
