There’s several 200tdi check and rebuild thread in the engine section if you search, nice engine to work on And also a good 200tdi rebuild article here https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/blogs/news?page=2

Just thought I might get an Inclination of whats wrong , if anything is. But lets face it the bloody thing has been stood for god knows how many years , at the least its gonna get a timing belt and water pump, but think the best bet is like...

If starting without rad I’d still connect some pipes and fill with water to run it so don’t get too hot

12v going to the stop solenoid on the injection pump, gravity feed some fuel and starter motor to battery is about it. Take the 12v off the stop solenoid to stop it.

The bendy bit 😀

it’s lasted fairly well

Its broken...!
