thinking of gettin a 1999 lwb 2.2 DTI

[nurco]

hi,
as above so what would i need to look out for guy's and can these puppys be chiped or modded for a few extra bhp .i.e de-cat pipe k&n filter ect ect


oh and i am going up savo to look at one limited edition so fingers crossed

[Drift]

I believe the DTI can be fitted with a tuning box with good results.

next thing is the truck i am looking at is ment to be a limited one .but has no side steps or nudge bar ?? was this just standared on late T reg and up or summat ....


got abs and air con though

[nurco]

well after a 5 hour round trip the truck was a wast of time had a real bad rattle from engine on tick over (went with light revs but once ticking over was back ) and left it to tick over and the rattle started getting worse and loud almost like the timing chain was slapping about is this a common thing with the 2.2 dti .....i did just walk away as i dont want to be buying a shed that needs tons of money spent on her ....???

[nurco]

thanks bud thats good to no .....this truck had done 103k (well thats what i was told over the phone ) turned out to be 118k no history past 60k ?????




now thinking of this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-VAUXHALL-FRO ... 7475093204





what do you all think

[BoxCleva]

Looks Ok , if a little expensive, but it's the time of year. Mine has no rust and it a '99 T. Wouldn't touch it if it is a Y22 engine rather than an X22. It's obviously been off road or laning, but that isn't a problem, um can't think of much else

[hipo1024]

just to add my 10 pence.
I have a black LWB B 2.2dti...its a dream, but as with the 1st truck you went to see, mine also rattles when at idle, sounds like the chains but its not. Im 90% (on mine anyways) its my alternator bearings...so sounds like they might be a weak point. mine has over 143k on it and mechanicly hasnt let me down once since ive had it (and tbh...I do give it sh|t). No rust, plently of scratches from green laning and It only oh's me about £1500, maybe £1600 tops.

As boxy said, I'd stay away from the Y22....if the pump goes (and theres no warning as far as I know) it'l cost you about £1200 just for a new pump. its about £300 - 400 for a recon. pump for the X engines and I think I remeber reading that the Y22's cant be chiped either.

PM "meezermum" about geting it chipped, he has his DTI chipped and he loves it.

[nurco]

well i did wi it for 1850 .wich looking around at others for sale didn't think it was to bad a price


as for the engine how would i tell if it's the x or y engine . and can you decat them (i did this with my l200 and what a difference it made ) oh and a k&n filter ...


any body done this with there fronty dti ??




and it feels good to be back on the fronty wagon

[hipo1024]

[nurco]

cheers thanks for that !!!!

also do these have on the fly 4wd system (been to used to pickups with it fitted bloody good invention me thinks )

i see they have a push button 4wd (dont like these very much ) much better with a shift leaver for that ....



and last can i fit a double din head unit in this truck ??? if so how is it done
