As far as I know all lightweight's were petrol when new so any diesel's about are going to be conversions and how well done the job was done will vary as will the engine type.

Ex Dutch military lightweights have diesels fitted as standard. Not sure how hard they are to find tho at the military vehicle disposal places.

Looks like he is going to do it!

He needs a list of spares, service spares and common problems that may happen to the 2.23 diesel series 3.
I can give him a list for the 300tdi but am clueless with the 2.25.

Can you help or should I go over to the series section?
Or both.

Thanks.
