1989 Ford Transit 2.5d loss of power now wont start

Postby Gavron » Tue Jan 10, 2017 1:05 pm

Hi Guys,

Please can you help I have a Ford Transit 2.5d Dormobile and my girlfriend is with our little girl and has broken down. The transit lost power and then came to a stop and now wont start. Any help would be most appreciated in this situation. It has a lucas Cav and not a fuel pump and is a rare old beast.

Thanks in advance

Blocked fuel filter would be my first thought.

Jumper timing belt is my guess.
Ford Transit Custom 280S Trend 105ps
Does this train stop on Merseyside?

Thanks for the reply

It was due to loose bolt and diminished washer letting in the air.

Cheers :-)
