Don't worry, would not consider not doing it, the sump is coming off and so is a big end, want to know what I am working with,not sure maybe you can check it out for me but I think the camshaft could be different between Auto & Manual if it is we will need to swap that over as well, go your new engine out tonight took pic but for some reason it does not want to upload, the two of the rover p4 went OK, Rick

should be on that cd rick , its got the whole manual for the r20 , but i will check

Engine Dead

Sally's engine died this morning, but I now know what the problem is, the flywheel has disconnected itself from the rest of the engine, don't know yet if it is flywheel bolts or broken crank, but I suspect bolts, never mind if we put a three litre petrol in it and it should go well at Smallfields this weekend, nice paint job don't you think, Rick:thumbs

when you say " died " ... is the engine totally foofed , or is it a viable repair ?.... is this kind of thing normal too ? .

We got another engine to go in remember, but depends how bad we beat her up at small fields on Sunday, she should go well with the 3 litre ford engine in, Rick

Just intrigued as of course theres no pure mechanical connection between auto gearbox and flywheel, its a viscous coupling* (thats what the torque convertor does), so not clear what sort of force would have caused such a problem.....I won't blame the garage that dropped the box in but it is most likely to be that or the original 'explosion' at the root of it....

BUT, its pleasing to see that we were right about this engine NOT falling apart - it would have been the first mechanically knackered 2.7 diesel engine this site has seen in the 5-6 years I've been popping in and out.....:thumb2:thumb2:thumb2

* thats why you can leave an auto in gear at the lights without doing anything; theres no clutch or mechanical linkage to break or wear out unlike a manual clutch.

"TWOC is an acronym standing for Taking Without Owner's Consent. Synonyms used by police in the UK include UTMV: Unauthorised Taking of a Motor Vehicle, and TADA or TDA: Taken and Driven Away. TWOC derives from the wording of S12 Theft Act 1968 and it has become the term used by the police in England and Wales to describe any unauthorised use of a car or other conveyance that is not actual theft. Since the taking need not involve an intention to permanently deprive the owner of the car, it is easier to prove than theft (this having an element of with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of their goods). The term came to prominence with a sharp rise in car crime in the early-1990s.

Like a mechanical engine failure on these, its unheard of Briggie......seriously.

I know I harp on about it but you don't get 300k-400k-500k miles in a London taxi from a junk engine......these engines have been run in that scenario for so long (and we are talking pre-Mistral/Maverick/Terrano remember) with shitloads of stop/start etc.. but are STILL going, to the extent that its now possible to have your 2.7 Nissan taxi engine converted from compression to spark ignition, i.e. into a petrol engine....it costs circa £5k but apparently meets emissions requirements in London that the diesel can't.

Do you start to see just how reliable the engine is and why we kept saying "couldn't be a big end"...? :thumb2
