see http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320785966927? ... 1423.l2648

Says 1.9, but I think it's a 1.7 as the pump does not look like a bosch.

That appears to be the earlier type "square port" head which has 65bhp (1984-1987) so not desirable BUT for £10 its worth having as a spare and having only done 87000 miles.

I didn't know that - thought the 1.9 were bosch and the 1.7 lucas.
Anyone know if the head is interchangeble with the newer engines? Steve

They can be either, they can also have different fuel filter systems fitted as well. Rather annoying really

So no 2 cars are exactly the same even if the model year is the same, oh, & don't forget different bonnet materials as well

Both my diesels have the lucas pump, ones a 85 6hbhp and the other a 92 71bhp.

I've not checked the Mk1 yet, but my 19TGD estate was Bosch. Has been merrily slurping veg since I sold it apparently!

Tempting to get a spare engine, but not sure how I'd get it here and then not sure where I'd actually put it...

Got it for 31 quid, well pleased, just got to pick it up, hopefully Sunday.
A result.

Got the engine home ok, damned glad i bought an engine hoist on feebay in the spring, wouldnt have been able to manage it on my own otherwise.
Its now in the garage zackly where i want it.
It turns ok and all the holes etc have all been blocked so as to prevent any dampness getting into it.

Quick question? How do you tell if its either a 1,7 or a 1.9? Seller said he bought it as a 1.9. It has a CAV diesel pump.
