Saw a snapped cambelt HDi on eBay cheap, bought it and stuck the engine I'm that over a couple of days. Project thread will be on here but I was probably using photobucket at the time do pics will have disappeared.
You're joking? Wonder why the engine was so hard to shift?!
Was it just a straight out, in, plug in, start up?
The cars were already getting old, people were just scrapping them if they needed an engine, I scrapped a few decent HDi engines around the same time as well, just sold the con rods to the XUD guys who kept breaking theirs...
Yep, straight swap, started first time! Did have the EML on, but they were old faults which cleared straight away and didn't come back.
Just looked for my thread, turns out the pics are still there to give you an idea.
