well lets keep in contact, because I have know idea were to get bits for the engine from! Or tho mine was/is a good runner (a lot of smoke and diesel knock, but thats more to do with pump timing), I do fear getting parts for it is going to be a headache. Like I think I may need a water pump :-0

recently the 4.108 has been fetching a lot of money! People soon snap them up on ebay :-/. I know lots of boats used them and are still in service but their are a few deferents between the boat engine and ours.

thanks for that :)
I have seen those guys have put things on ebay from time to time :)
Thank you.
Will be good to see your van up and running to, we can compare lack of performance ;-) and we can gloat about fuel consumption.

Thanks :D Im getting there slowly.
All the injectors are out of the engine and are off being tested. Apart from that and a clean and paint, I'm not doing anything else to it. Unless anyone advises me differently.

oww ok then, that reminds me, are the clutches the same on the diesels as on the petrol engines ?

Thats good I was worrying that It would be another hard thing to get hold of. Any other advice as I'm at this stage?
