2.5tds 2000 import ?

[jon large]

howdee,

Ive a 2.5tds v reg, taken a crunch at the front. was told that it was an import, and that it was only made for about 6months... and that parts were like
rocking horse s**t....?
Is this true ? am after another 'new' rad. last one had to be put in upside down as was bought by mistake and has lasted only 6 months.

any advice appreciated.

I take it it's just an A series LWB that's been registered on an V plate ?

If so any A series Body Panels will fit and the Rad will be the same as the normal 2.5TDS which you can order from any Motor Factors or depending on the condition of yours, just have the standard one re cored ?

If you can post up a photo of the car & engine it will help

There's an "R reg swb being broken for spares at our local breakers down here...can't see a mark on it...

unless its lhd it should just be a standard a series

looks helluva lot like an A series, but i'm not an expert here.
& Yes, its a 5d LWB.

If its a 2.5 it will be the A series with uprated curvy dash.
Easy to spot an import even if its RHD, the badge will read Opel, not Vauxhall

I might know this vehicle. Post a pic mate, it will be interesting to see.

I have a lot of 2.5 parts

Ok got the photos attached:



you can see the mod made to fix the rad upside down at the top, i think it was off a 2.2 tdi, breaker sold it me by post as a 2.5tds when I phoned him back after it arrived it was a dfrnt story though.








and, er, yes, it's an Opel ! Kind of obvious when U think about it BUT the guys at the breakers seemed to be saying this model was like a one of a kind only made for 6 months never seen again sort of thing.... oh well.

will pm about the breakers etc. thanks for the replys.
Jon.

Ahh , no it's not the one I know.

that looks like a standard 2.5 frontera to me it must have been registered late also if it is an opel how come it says vauxhall in the front grill i thought it would have the same grill as this one

The one that was local to me was on a V plate.
It was just unsold stock that had been in a dealers compound for a longggggg time.
