lol

It was but I destroyed it to be able to remove the fan

Wammers I know I cant run it for corsa prices and I expected that what I don't want to do is spend out £250 to 450 on the plate 40 to 50 quid on a new tensioner bracket and then find out the head is U/S and end up spending £500 or so on a new one I don't mind spending the money that's not the...

but rather expensive to buy yes

what would you do the Harmonic balancer is putting me off keeping this engine

that's why I opted for new engine thought it would be easier

one thing I did see is there was a piece of steel on the fan belt tensioner instead of the piston adjuster

it was doing a steady 60 on the dual carriageway with the temp gauge at about 12 o'clock on to a slight incline and the temp shot up into the red so we pulled in to let it cool when pulled in it was rough idling and cut out (expansion tank bubbling ) half hour later started no probs idling...

whent to get pics

where do I start brought it home drove 30 miles all ok apart from some rattling under the bonnet last 10 miles it overheated got it hove the following day and couldn't see the water circulating so got a water pump and new thermostat stripped it down pulled water pump and thermostat out both...

gocha ok do you know any for sale I think ill leave that one I really need a complete ready to drop in one as I don't have the knowledge to start messing with pumps and I don't know anyone around here to help I only got this to take us camping with our trailer tent and tow my daughters horse box...

ok does anyone know where I can get a new engine from at a reasonable price

I have the old manifold type don't think there is an egr in it

I have a 98 r reg how much of a job is it to change the pump over obviously the pump of my engine would go straight on changing pumps makes me nervous as I have never done one

I can only go on what the guy said and that it was an e34 and it was taken from a rover 75 the engine looks very similar to mine are there numbers on the engine I can get the man to check? I thought the rover 75 were only 2l fiesel

this is what the guy said BMW E34 2.5 DIESel

that would be awesome as I really don't want to waste any more money

current engine is sluggish overheating and has a few parts need replacing which makes it cheaper to buy a low millage alternative

the guy said its the 2.5 bmw e34 engine and it looks identical to the one I have

ok have just called the chat who is supplying the engine and its an E34 bmw engine and its come out of a Rover 75
