i bought my 2.5td just over 9yrs ago. it came from a garage that had a workshop, sold a few cars , & a seperate building with a shop & forecourt. the garage owner showed me a photo of a vintage speedboat he owned, a wooden carvel built job. he also told me that it was powered by two bmw 2.5 engines as is in the car i,d just purchased. i remember he also mentioned an issue he had with an injection pump & had been quoted £1200 for a new one. he told me that he had been a mechanic for 45yrs & managed to fix it himself, but didn,t elaborate how. hes now retired & the shop & petrol pumps are now houses. tho i think is son still has the workshop. i would love to meet him again & ask him what he actually did to fix his pump.
p.s it was a rural garage near " Flamingoland" so most of his work were on diesels
