hello again. update !! just off the phone from original owner. engine out of a 2000 td5 that rolled over. had 10k's on it. transplanted by "ritters" into a range rover. 100k's later flex plate split. sat in car for at least 6 years in shed. "4bd1" was fitted into car. td5 sold on as spare engine for disco 2 owner. sat in his shed for 5 years approx. then he sold his td5 car.
as near as i can work out , its been sitting for between 12 - 14 years.
obviously i can't just fit it into a car and turn the key. will i have to strip down the bottom end and oil bearing shells etc. ? what about the injectors sitting for so long ?? what about pistons in cylinders ? fill with oil and turn by hand ??
any advice from the mechanically minded members would be helpfull. thanks. pete.
