Yeah was going to try and centralise the best i could with sloppy pin as it stands its my only option as ive allegedly already bought correct pin so dont see any point in ordering another unless i take it to a machine shop to get shaved

Hi thanks for reply i have the adaptor in but im thinking the problem is the probe is too thick the hole looks very fine! None of my local garages are willing to help so i suppose my question is where can i buy a probe fine enough to fit pump? As for tdc pin i got a loan of another one for a...

Hi still more issues so back for some sound advice. I have RAVE although my 2 issues now are when went to set timing following instructions in rave firstly the pins in the dial guage kit i borrowed seem to thick yet kit states it covers all bosch pumps (for record its a draper bosch lucss diesel...

Id guess it would just be a case of stripping everything of bmw engine and fitting bare engine using everything from RR inlet, exhaust etc previous owner did say he had to change sump, flywheel etc

No probs will repost once i get it timed and running. and will download rave Cheers

Sorry thought i had replied its a 95 N reg 2.5dt the sensor is on left side facing engine next to air entrance on inlet manifold cheers

Dont know year of donor vehicle! I have tried to text previous owner on occasion to ask odd question but he never replies! He was very stressed at the RR when i bought it and probably ready to smash it up i believe it owed him a lot of money and time So he was probably not happy at selling it...

Its a 95 N reg 2.5dt it has the connector on left side facing engine of entrance to inlet manifold but can find no cable to connect to it

Well Ive bought puller and changed pump to one off original engine now just need timing set on it ! When i got car he couldnt get top of pump onto one on new engine so thats why i changed pump assuming top is original RR but in truth i dont know! Always new this car was a gamble guy was going...

Well i dont know! This is why my local mechanics wont touch it as the previous owner fitted new engine out a 325tds and couldnt get it to run! So i bought it as a non runner with bits of old engine in boot! so i can borrow any tools i need but they wont look at someone elses half finished job...

Ok thanks will let you know when its done and running still have a issue with no lead and connector for air temp sensor but will worry about that when its eventually up and running cheers

Im getting a loan of dial guage and adapter from local mechanic and you gave me settings earlier. I've never done this before but my father has (not with RR) and he says if i get engine locked and a guage then he will have a go with the settings you gave me and thanks for that

Hi sorry to be a pain but my tool guy has after a long wait just delivered my crankshaft locking pin so i can set engine to tdc so i can get pump timed. Can someone tell me where on the block does the locking pin go as cant see any obvious port and cant find location on google. Many Thanks

Many thanks for such detailed info A diesel pump is something I have no experience with so I will look for someone that can do it for me thanks

Now it wont start at all could any damage of been done by the timing being out????
