2.5TD starting issues and running hot

--- Quote from: "sas pinkie" ---My Td5 pulled fine and showed none of the "usual"head gasket symptons. It was doing EXACTLY what your was doing, only it was also using a small amount of water on really long journeys, and that had a cracked head between Piston no1 &2.  :shock:  Good luck
--- End quote ---


Hmmm..... not good. I checked the water last night and it took a couple of litres  :?

Maybe a change of plan with which engine goes in the project. Back to the V8???? But I am getting used to 30mpg now  :lol: Or Mikee's suggestion of a 200TDi if I can find a good one.

How easy is it to swap from 2.5TD to 200TDi? I'm having a new wiring harness, so I can get one made to suit.
