320touring Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 As you have no doubt seen around these parts, my Pug 306 is pining for the Fjords due to cambelt failure. Its MOT'd til October, has 156K miles on it. In the last 2 K i has had a coolant change and oil service, plus glowplugs. Brakes and gearbox wok well, XUD lump not so much. Interior is in decent order bar the leak into passenger footwell. 4 alloys with decent tread. Rear beam is drum but in good order It's currently in the South of Glasgow, and I'm happy to meet folks if they'd like to see it. It will need towed as it is a full on FTP. £FREE KruJoe and Lacquer Peel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think the ZX engine would fit with a little work, I can't remember if the pumps are the same mind. KruJoe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 if you can throw an engine in with the same ease that I can out a dyson back together it sounds like a no brainer! that pic of the boot looks like a small fire, then I look closely and see the bag 4 life...

Lacquer Peel Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The code is obscure. It's a great* engine, service-free apart from the oil, coolant and valve clearances. Add boost and fuel and it'll outrun any petrol 800 in a fog of veg/kerosene/used engine oil/liposuction fat smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardK Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 How many cylinder heads on it again? Fitting a Rover with four cylinder heads is just asking for HGF. IIRC it's only one gasket, too, and they sort of overlap, so you can't just swap the gasket on the affected cylinder/s. 'Cause that would be far too sensible.

IIRC it's only one gasket, too, and they sort of overlap, so you can't just swap the gasket on the affected cylinder/s. 'Cause that would be far too sensible.Its 4 separate gaskets, but the heads are held down with bolts between the two heads and big washers bridging the gap, so you cant remove one head without releasing the bolt tension on the adjacent heads Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I found one with the gutless 2.1 Renault one I'd almost consider it. To add to the obscure diesel theme, a friend from years back fitted a Lister LPWT4 (all of 60bhp, but lots of torque) into a Transit Minibus. Sounds terrible but actually went rather well.I helped him out by finding a vac pump alternator, so he could have brakes too.
