Anyone know owt about Transits?
« on: July 14, 2009, 22:15:18 »
Having acquired a 2.5D Transit engine - referred to as a DTI - I need a new starter for it.  It's one of the biggest starters I've seen not on a JCB or a Wagon!
As  i don't know the year or original Reg, eveyone looks blank.  The old one is a lucas unit, with 54246461 on one of the castings.  Anyone know the one I mean?  Local place has suggested DRS 0950 but can't guarantee it's right.

Err, I don't know that much but being a Ford if you can find the engine number it should have been common to the chassis number and therefor tell you the year and month of manufacture.

 I too would recomend the recon route. Had mine done a few months ago
picked it up next day looking like new.  £34, a hell of a lot cheaper than a
new one, and works perfectly.

That's a good point and TBH I'd be very surprised if the guys at my local reconditioners couldn't tell you what vehicle is was for.
