hi guys i have a landrover series 3 with what i was told was a 2.5 na daihatsu diesel engine i have a few questions how do i identify which model it is how many different 2.5 engines did they make the only model i can find was the f50 it is a great engine but i need some info for spares etc any help would be greatly appreciated
If it's a 2.5 it is the DG
If it's a 2.5 it is the DG engine from an F50. To be sure it is a DG and not a niormaly asperated 2.8 look at the fuel pump. If the injecter lines come out of the top of the pump in a line it's a 2.5, if the lines come out the back of the pump in a circle, it's a 2.8. There are other tell tailes, but that's the most obviouse.
For spares find the engine number. I think (if memory serves) it'll be down the left hand side of the engine (looking from the drivers seat), somewher near the engine mount (in front of it?).
Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.
