well its been a while but its been at the auto sparks for a week after putting it back together i had no ignition which was a fukker, they sorted that issure olny to fing the wrong diesel pump had been fitted not flowing enough fuel to the injectors to get it running

after talking with ford technical turns out its had a earlyer engine fitted as the 05 engines differ on the inlet/diesel pump side of things when emissions laws changed in late 2004 so i neede a 2005 ttdi diesel pump as there only made in very limited numbers 605+vat from ford eek! plus injectors at 480+vat a

so it wasnt looking good for this van and it was going to be sold off

but i have since found a pump for 300 and apparently the injectors should work with it so happy days still 1k bill comin for all the fecked wiring etc but better that 2.5 it was goin to cost
