2.3 Diesel by alsavs on Wed Dec 08, 2010 11:12 pm
HI need a bit of advice have heard of a 1994 2.3 diesel thats up for sale.Now i have not yet seen the motor but it needs a fuel pump to start with and it has done about 100000 miles and it has got a mot ticket.What i would like to know is how much roughly a fuel pump would be and what is the general opinion of this engine.

Thanks
Alan

Fuel pumps aint cheap...but I would be concerned about buying it without hearing it running...the mileage isnt too much concern, they go on for a good few more than that, but can suffer oil pump probs which can lead to a knackered engine, which I guess you wouldnt know until you've bought it and fitted a pump...

Engine itself is pretty dependable, not the fastest truck in the world compared with 2.8's and 2.5's...

How much is it? as you can get one up and running for £500ish and save the hassle...

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!

I love it, ive got a 1993 l reg, It starts up no problem in all this cold weather, Its my only car and i use it every day. It will never set any land speed records, and can be a bit smokey when you boot it, But its so simple very few electrics [how a engine should be :wink: ]

No idea about the price of a fuel pump mate, seen complete engines on ebay for about £100 and up. Try ebay mate :D

Thanks for the reply's.
Gregster they want 300 for it.I was hoping it was going to be a 2.8 or maybe a 2.5.I used to have a 3.2 till for some unkown reason i sold it.If it had been a 2.8 i think i would have taken a chance and bought it.Looks like i will have to wait a bit longer and see if any appear on here.
