right then,
got the car today, does go well!
its a basic scorpio diesel thats had some factory upgrates such as climate controll (for rear screen headed cars only) and crusie controll.
clothe interiour in VGC
its done just under 102000, engine smoked a bit when started but it has been stood in a field for 3 months, and its got better as it ran, no smoke at all when i had got it the 30 miles home,
haveing never driven the diesel before i dont know what its acts like when the turbo kicks in? should there be a noticable kick or is it a low pressure turbo and works but no real kick to it? (i couldnt feel any kick)
i must say its a lazy car, 70mph and only 2250rpm!!
the gear box is great, which makes me happy as thats what ive bought it for!

i was thinking of selling the lump whole,
whats your altenator like?
this has a brand spanker on it, but wasnt there 2 types on the diesel?
if yours work i dont mind swapping 
if anybody intersetd in the engine, £200 but for that you'll get everything but the box, (intercooler and water rad with fans included, header tank, power steering pump, altenator (if highlander doesnt pinch it  )intake and exhaust manifolds (cat is sold!!) and the engine its self)

yeah they apparently used 2; the early one being 75 amp couldnt really cope so a 120 (might've been 125) was then used.....

it is a bit but it its been stood in a field for ages, and the altenator isnt wired up right so i dont think its injecting properly as is gets rought when the battery is dieing, driving it home the engine got better, so a good service and some injector cleaner should do it a world of good
if your local pop round and i'll run her up for you
im in birmingham
