http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....8478&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT#ht_1934wt_928 going to look at this tomorrow.. to cut a long story short the owner tells me he has put a low mileage engine in it as it went capoot a week after him buying it. what im wanting to know is where are the engine numbers on these so i can check the v5 against the engine or vice versa cheers

I don't know where the numbers are, but the L-series is a good engine and you should get some reasonably life and performance out of it.

It is one of the earlier direct injection diesels though, so a little noisier than the commonrail modern stuff.

well bought it for £600 drove the 80 miles home with ease will look tomorrow at engine numbers. took dipstick out when running no bad on the pressure so thats a good sign plus it pulled really well sat at 80 all the way home.. seller assures me it has a later 02 plate engine in it
