Yep, I have a 2.25 petrol engine which runs very well. Took it out in August tio fit a 2.25 D engine. It didnt smoke, passed the MOT has a webber carb and is a sweet as a nut. Sensible offer and its yours. Bristol based but I have a trailer so delivery (at cost only) is a possible. Mike.

Thanks for all the offers, my friend has now, he says, located a 2.5 from an early 90.

If this turns out to be no good I will be in touch, thanks again!

If you can see the original colour anywhere 3 bearing are a greeny blue, 5 bearing a brownish red.
There are differences in the casting, but I can't remember what!

JoeBodge · Jan 13, 2009

its 5 bearing then as its a redish brown block

The Mad Hat Man · Jan 13, 2009

carnt yu tell by the engine number?

JoeBodge · Jan 17, 2009

Hi Joe, sorry i'd forgotten about this one - i'm now sorted for 2.25 petrols for a while now but if you ring Frida Turner on 01342 834713 she'll have it off you for 75 to 90 quid - and she'll arange it's collection

parently they are running out of 5 bearing engines to re-manufacture and are having to source them individually rather than in bulk as they've been able to do previoulsy (from the MOD)

hope this helps

JoeBodge · Jan 17, 2009

cheers sean, will give her a ring. thanks
