I've found on another list that the numbers on the main body we've all found above are for the Sth American Ford Ranger 2.8

Diesel fuel injection,fuel injection pump,diesel parts,Diesel Nozzle,plunger,Delivery valve,Head rotor

but the nozzle # should be DSLA140P1112 for the 2.8.

and yes, that main body is also used in a Merc Sprinter with a 2.5 litre engine.

Would the nozzle part# be on the nozzle? Any idea's where else to shop?

I've asked a Brazillian if he can help.

Todays efforts revieled the following:

I went to Gold Coast Diesel Specialist and picked up my injection pimp and injectors. The pump is ok and the injectors need rebuilding. Allan, the main guy there was very helpful and generous with his time. Showing me his workshop and test equipment. This would have to be one of, if not, the cleanest most professional workshops I have been in. Stainless steel beanches everywhere, all tools in purpose built places, rubber floor mats all over and some serious test equipment. They use the factory test specifications to run the pump through various test ranges of load and rpm. The injectors they can get parts for, but have to come from Bosch Germany. He is saying they are speced for the 2.8 Ford Ranger Allan also gave some insite into what may have happend, and going by my explination doubts an injector fail. But they are all damaged as a result.

Then off to Works by Wilson Engineering. These guys are going to do the machine work. I got the call today the best way to go is with 10thou over size pistons. Their reason was that the other bores a good chance of out of round and not to trust re using the other 3 pistons. The scored bore can get used with +10thou. Nathan will also deck the to of the block.

Gilberts Cylinder Head Services was the next stop. Head was above hardness and in very good condition. All Valves in VGC. Valve springs in VGC Head was Hardness, crack and leak tested. New stem seals where used in reassembly.

All 3 of these companies were very professional, took the time to show me what was what and to explain stuff (most over my head).

I recieved a phone call from Mike Vine Turbochargers and the Turbo is fine and ready for pick up.

so $1000 so far(not including the mechanics time for removal stripping etc) and no real work done or parts bought.

I went to the Isuzu dealer and looked at their NNR and NPR range. Getting a quote tomorrow. This engine rebuild is going to coast at the LEAST $8000....and then I still have a truck that is on its limits for work load.

now who has a money tree

Serg - About time you bought a dedicated work vehicle so you can keep the isuzu for play. What about an NLS200?

NEW ISUZU NLS 200 Cab Chassis
$43,400*

2250 kg load capacity. Should be enough

Sounds like you might have to sell a few saws...

AWD is not really needed. I had LR as my choice, it helped when my trailer grew to its current weight and size. But if I go to a small truck, the jobs I go on, rarely need AWD as Ill end up with dedicated tool boxes in the truck and no tool trailer.

Looking at the 3ltr NNR in short. That will have a 3.3m tray. Plenty for me.

Where did you get that price from and was it for new? Thats cheaper than the NNR in 2wd

Funny you should say that, 90% of my saw stuff is now for sale.

Tony Ireland Isuzu Townsville. Was advertised as "new" - but may have been a demo.

It is worth trying dealers further afield. An uncle is a farmer just north of Brisbane, and when he needed a new Toyota, Mike Carney in townsille could beat all the Brisbane dealers by a long way - delivered to his door.
