OK so I have a feeling this is going to be very quick or an absolute nightmare!
I went over to my French mechanics today for a chat and in the conversation he dropped in this little one to see if I could help him.
He has been given the internals to a turbo (taken apart by owner who has now lost all but what is in the picture) that has come of a D1 and he has been asked if he can find the bits to rebuild it, as the owner has lost them and then put it back on the D1 which he hasn't seen yet. Simples.
picture of what he has been given by the owner.
Vin number is SALLJGMF8TA5***** taken from V5.
I have searched and it appears that the vehicle is a 1996 D1 which could have a 300tdi lump.
Questions are:-
Can anyone tell me from the vin which engine the car has? and/or (know it's a long shot) ID the turbo from the picture? How many makes of turbo were fitted to the 300tdi so we, sorry he, can source a replacement?
French factor you just have to love it, how can you lose 90% of a turbo.:doh:
