    What's the engine code for the Isuzu lump? Also did any other cars feature the Isuzu engine as can find a lump but not a whole donor car

    Diesel engine swap - Bigger than 1.7?

    The main reason is for more power. More speed. My van is rarely loaded with any weight but feels very sluggish. I'm used to my c20xe, I'd be happy with 100bhp I think but would also love an engine I can mod.

    Diesel engine swap - Bigger than 1.7?

    I want a simple old school diesel turbo but bigger than 1.7 so that could be a x20dth? I intend to get a donor car then swap the lot over to make things easy.

    White van man

    Well caravan is an abbreviation for car derived van I thought? Estate and car derived van have same body often referred to as caravan. Yh it's a 1.7td not sure if Isuzu or gm, I assume Isuzu as it runs good, no smoke and doesn't have a Vauxhall emblem on it.

    White van man

    Just bought myself another mk3, this is the fourth I've owned now but my first mk3 caravan body. Few bits to do to it and a long wish list. Already done the little bits to get me through till payday like new alternator belt and some water hoses.
