Hello!
My girlfriend has just bought a 1987 mk3 transit campervan, and I'm wondering if you could let me know what I'm looking at under the bonnet. I don't know much about transits (or diesels in general), but I've got a bad habit in '70s Bedford CFs, so I know which end of a spanner is which.

Here's the motor (in the link). I get the feeling it isn't the original? The loom looks messed-about, the oil filler feels too modern, and there's some kind of butterfly and paraphernalia by the air intake that's been blanked off / disconnected (some kind of antipollution system?) There's also some weirdy disconnected stuff in the rad pipe front centre (right by the engine lift hook in the photo). No idea what it is, but its got a snipped off cable coming out of it.
I'd love you thoughts on where this engine has come from, and what the disconnected bits are. The motor has a "76ps" sticker on the plastic cambelt cover, if that helps...
Much obliged!
Matt
