REQ: DAIHATSU 2.8 Turbo DIESEL ENGINE SPARES & MANUAL

Second Posting...

I have a 1983 DEFENDER 110 RHD - fitted with a 2.8 litre DAIHATSU TURBO DIESEL engine. It was imported to Canada from England in November 2001... I bought it in June 2002. The conversion was carried out, to the best of my knowledge, by MILNER in the UK. Originally, the vehicle was fitted with a petrol engine.

I'm looking for a reliable, reasonably priced source for spares. My first desire is to get an engine manual.. Hard copy or on CD-ROM.

Parts I'm looking to have on hand: WATER PUMP Replacement THERMOSTAT plus GASKET KIT STARTER MOTOR ALTERNATOR Set of INJECTORS Fuel Pump Engine Manual

The VIN NUMBER of my vehicle is: SALLDHMH7AA193437

The word MILNER appears on the aluminium housing of the water pump.

Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated - either a source OR advice on where to enquire for reliable sources.

Thanking you all... in advance, Charles H. Tupper Vancouver, CANADA [To reply personally, REMOVE_KNICKERS from address]

Daihatsu engines are available in two capacities, 2.5 litre and 2.8 litre, with the 2.8 litre also being available in a more powerful turbo version. All these engines are four cylinder units and are indirect injection, which will therefore aid in reduced engine noise.

Selection Details

1. On purchasing an engine, check that it is complete with starter and alternator.

1. If the engine is from a Portero Pampus it should be noted on ordering a conversion kit, as there are two types of starter motors, pre-engaged and gear reduction. Pre-engaged starters are usually fitted to the early 2.5DG engines.

2. The Daihatsu alternator is required for the vehicles fitted with servo brakes. This is due to them having a vacuum pump driven from the rear of the alternator. A remote voltage regulator (part no. K874) will be required for this unit if the original is not available.

1. On 6cyl models the engine chassis mountings will require relocating to accommodate the Daihatsu engine.

2. The Daihatsu power steering pump bracket cannot be used with this conversion. A PAS fitting kit is available using a Range Rover pump.
