I had this problem soon after the water pump started leaking, after replacing it the responsiveness and power has come right back up.

Right so it is looking the likely route is petrol. This will becoming interesting if i go this route as i have never owned or driven a petrol engined vehicle. Though finding one that is not to far away may be difficult.

Me I'm up in the far reaches of the north of scotland where the mot testers know there is a rule book but follow it as and when it suits. Ok then i have been considering a V8 or a turner 2.25 uprated petrol so i am thinking down the same lines. The other option for me as there is a lot of them...

I am a mechanical maintenance engineer so doing the work my self is the way things are going to be happening. Off road and towing are things i would like to be able to do but are not the most important considerations going to be doing a lot of long distance driving. I get quite long periods off...

Right well Achievement wise it will become the daily driver only car as it won't get used all year. petrol or diesel doesn't concern as I'm millage is not the biggest concern and any petrol would get an LPG conversion. Budget £300 for an engine in a condition that needs repairing and a further...

Thanks guys. No i don't have the original ancillary bits as it was a pretty thorough conversion form what i can tell apart they kept the petrol ignition barrel so the glow plugs are on a separate button that has been mounted to the instrument cluster and the engine shutoff is the petrol choke.

Hello every one, My 1972 88 station wagons 2.25 diesel is nearing the end of its life if it is not given a major rebuild soon, it drinks oil and there is blow past from one or two of the cylinders, i think the compression is so low on one it runs as a three cylinder until up to temperature when...

Another vote for Yrm found them to be excellent

Hi guys thanks for all the advice. Have managed to find a correct replacement locally as one of the garages up by me had a stash of old parts. So there is a new manifold in place and a shiny new exhaust to go with it as well. but this has lead to some new developments as upon poking around the...

yeah was thinking that might be my only option, thanks any way.

HEY all I have a problem, the bolts holding the exhaust to the exhaust manifold have sheared and while i do have the skill to remove them I don't really have the tools so do you know if the 2.5 Na engine exhaust manifold will fit on the the 2.25 Na Diesel engine. Thanks in advance

ah yeah that would put any body off.

how long a go was that as they have changed hands now and seem to be a lot better i have always had good service from them.

Some idiot will probably buy it though. I think though in that state my series 3 is worth more my actual guess at the value is sub £3000 in that condition. And £3800 will buy you a working road legal Minera.

You could use one of those big dry bags , make sure there is still a lot of air maybe even some flotation tubes inside then strap it to the out side of the vehicle probably roof rack would be best then add into the securing rope system a couple of the automatic life raft release cutters. When...

the high level light are just a pair of red reflectors. the battery strap came like that if it ain't broke don't fix it. major problem is i haven't got time to do the work myself so i have now racked up about as much in garage bills as i payed for it but, then i drive it a bit and forgive it.

Hi guys thanks for the pointers. It is a 2.25 diesel with fairly overdrive. When I first got it I'd did well about 55 in forth with over drive and about 33mpg though top speed seem to have slacked off a bit since then down to 50 mph I think the injectors may be the main culprit but also the...
