Might I suggest that you change your location in your profile, just a city / area will do rather than your address.

Which en gine is it? a 93 Ducato is the old Talbot Express so it could have a 2 litre petrol engine or a 1.9 diesel, or even a 2.5 diesel.

I echo that!! If you post in the future that you are away on a trip, every low-life will know your house is empty!

Sorry folks Ive tried to writethis a couple of times but my computer died. First, Thanks for your good advice about my address, Ive corrected that now (I think). The engine is the 1.9 Diesel Turbo model. 1993. Thats the bugger. If it was 95 on the engine mounting stays basicly the same. Ive dropped the sump pan but there is A KIND OF PLATE that half covers the big ends and one of them cant be got to at all. its knocking so badly that the crankshaft has to be scored. However I love my monster and intend to stand by her whatever is chucked at us. My old bus like my old woman is a bit tatty round the edges but shes brought me a great deal of happiness. its something you cant buy. (silly old fart)

So many of those engines around mate,reckon you could find one from a crashed vehicle in a scrappy.
I had a 2000 Chausson with that engine and never pulled that well until I removed front part of the exhaust and fitted a free flowing air filter.Pulled like a train after that,well worth saving if you can,and of course the old woman too!! (y)

Hi, sumolgeezer. Great username. Scroll to the top of the page and, under the Motorhome Fun banner, there is a blue band of choices. Click on 'Subscribe'. Then scroll down to the yellow box and click on that.
Re the engine, there is a company less than 20 miles from you that may be able to help: -

surely you can get an engine manual online Andy ?
Also if you are on a budget , maybe a 2nd hand one from a breaker / scrap yard with some form of warranty would suit you.
