Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi All,
I am trying to get hold of a 1.9 DG Petrol Water Cooled engine - ideally complete with everything (wiring, carbs, cradle, etc..) 
If its a good runner - bonus else I am prepared to rebuild!

Its to go into my '88 T3 Panel Van.

I would also be interested in a 2.1 DJ engine, again ideally complete!

Many Thanks,
Matt.

	Hi Mat Nearly ready to break my C plate caravelle, late 86. Its got a DG in it with a 4sp box. My current bus is a '92 syncro with JX diesel engine, so don't need any of the petrol stuff. Was going to put the engine, box and all ancilliaries up for sale at the brick-yard first, for about £450 o.n.o Engine without box will be about £325. The engine had new heads about 15k ago and a carb overhaul shortly after. Had no probs with this engine for the four years that it was my daily drive. It was SORN about three years ago due to excessive corrosion to sills and outriggers. Fired it up a couple of times a year to play musical vans as space is tight down here. Never failed to drive. Could be couple of weeks before I start to break it up, but when I do the engine and box will be dropped first. I'm in Exeter - you can land on it on Google Earth at EX1 3HE
