Hi as well as owning a 306 TD I also have a LDV Pilot its the later 1 with the DW8 earlier 1s had the XUD,i have had all kinds of trouble with the electronics on the Dw8,what I would like to know is it possible to fit the XUD non electronic pump and injectors to my DW8 and have it run, apart from powering up the stop switch are there any other problems (is it compatible and can I leave most of the wiring in situ and use existing glow plug wiring ) thank you in advance

The actual pump or the cradle that holds the pump onto the engine?

The craddle that holds the pump is diffrent. Sack it off. Buy full bosch setup lines injectors. Fit an xud braket, two holes line up two need adjusting. Timing is almost perfect pump may need to go a tooth one way or the other though. Overall pretty simple to do in a day or so
On a break from 306oc for personal reasons. If anyone needs or wants me most of you have my number and or facebook messenger
Thanks for the good times guys n gals. I might be back. Who knows.

I had a bosch from a 306 fitted to my DW8 in the 305. Needs a few modifications, but will bolt on after

Actually the DW8 is a good engine, only thing letting it down is its rods. Performs well with little boost.

I used to have a DW8 306 - surely the noisiest (clatter/knock) diesel ever made LOL
