Hi there, I have a nas 2.5 diesel 12J in my series. My query is it needs full acceleration to start it. I have had a few of these in the past and never touched the accelerator till it fired. Any idea why it would do this. It seems to run well otherwise. Billy

I need a vacuum pump for my 2.5 nas diesel, 12J. Wondered if anyone had a good one? Billy

I have a brake master cylinder with servo, single line from a lwb and was hoping to fit it to my swb 2a. Now the brake fitting is different. My question is what size do i need? Dont worry I will be testing it rigorously off road before venturing on road. Billy

I have bought a swb 2a soft top and am really pleased with it. But the brakes are very poor. A quick looksee shows it has series 3 hubs and 2a drums. Could this cause a problem or are they compatible. Its a single unassisted system.

OK, so I am having a few problems with the P38, mostly of my own making. I am thinking of buying a second hand ignition barrel, key and door handle. Is the ignition barrel common to all models? Mine is a 99 2.5 diesel

First post here, I sold my series a few years ago and recently bought this P38 turbo diesel 1999 coil sprung conversion. Anyway it has more bodges than most series I have seen . So I am working my way through basic servicing and getting to know it. I have diesel dripping from the rear wheel arch...

Further to my previous post on my 2.5 nas diesel I rebuilt the head hoping to nurse it through the winter,while I save to recon it. Just managed to start the engine and it is running on 2 maybe 3 cylinders. Is there anything obvious I should check first?

I took the head off my 2.5 nas diesel as it is smoky on start up. I have replaced the valve stem seals but they looked ok. The inlet valves are coked up and oily as are the inlet ports. The engine has the recycled fumes system coming from the sump. Should I replace the cartridge? Or is the...

I am stripping down my spare 2.5 nas diesel engine. Could someone with some engineering knowledge help me. The pistons are AE A350422 +0.508. My question is are these original and the standard size. Similarly the shells are ERC 8641 and then 6618. There is only a slight score of copper colour...

Crankshaft pulley is seized on and I wondered what is best to remove it without damage. Its on my 2.5 nas diesel the big three pulley one. Any ideas gratefully received . Billy

The 2.5 nas in my series three swb has developed a bad vibration. At first changed uj,s in rear prop then suspected diff. Now am pretty sure it is the Engine, I changed the injectors as it was hard to start and have ordered new engine and gearbox mountings but wondered if I am missing something...

I have a 2.5 nas diesel in my series and it is getting hard to start. Always needs two or three tries and heat for much longer than it should, with winter approaching what would you recommend. It smokes blue and black on start up and under load when cold very black. Air filter, fuel filter and...

So something made me look under the bonnet tonight and I could hear a rough bearing, water pump or alternater I thought. A fine jet of water appeared and five minutes later large pool. My question is I have an old engine (2.5 nas diesel by the way ) and I want to swap the water pump from it...

My wings are sagging, I,ve tried loosening all the fixings and adjusting, still not sitting right. Any solutions other than buying new wings which is not an option.
