Alright pal, You fancy testing and fixing mine if I send you the circuit board?
It's absolutely coked up...... It's off It's tits🤣🤣
I did you ever get this going? What gearbox did you use as i have a rover m47 cdti engine would like to use for rwd thanks colin
Quite a few more videos on it now,, it’s on the road,, bmw box
Great to see a smile on your face mate. You deserved that moment!
Not saying it had anything to do with your problems nut don't ever trust starline to work correctly just because it's new, over half there range is not fit for purpose 😒
I don’t think it did,, I know nothing about them though to be fair
Nice 1 doing great your gonna have silly problems at the start u will get there
Sorted now,, will update soon
The camshaft in the pump , pushes on the pistons up , a spring bring that piston back down . the only issue is that on a pump that has been sitting too long , the piston goes up but not back down . the fix is with the help of some atf , to push by hand the piston back down , now the pump will work .that used to be a commen problem .
That’s pretty much what it was,, stuck pistons,, a relatively easy fix
my diesel bmw wouldnt start when warm and it turned out to be the starter motor would start fine when cold - old starter was still working good.
All sorted now,, hopefully 🤞
You’ll be sideways all the time! Great job, keep going !
That's the plan!
Id suggest removing the extra fuel pump and look into the engine turning over speed. Maybe a starter on the way out or not quite a good enough ground this can be cheacked easily with a jump lead from battery to starter.
Power to the starter is perfect,, I can see on live data there is a low pressure at the fuel rail when attempting to start
@@NicksGarageUk 1 pump should be all you need. If 1 pump is struggling to get the fuel to the high pressure pump maybe the tank is the problem. However a leak of test will help if you have an injector that leaks all the diesel back to the return the van will struggle to build the pressure. In the last video you said you were waiting of a kit have you done a test yet.bots relatively straight forward to do.
@@NicksGarageUk I should mention that I mention starter etc because I had a hot start problem with my Renault traffic wouldn't start when hot. Turned out the starter was on its way out and it turned over just the little bit slower when cranking so didn't build enough fuel pressure to start. You could barely even tell the difference between cranking speed had me puzzled for a little while
Leak off test has been done,, and the injectors have now also been replaced with known good ones as well as both fuel rail sensors Injectors have been coded I am currently in the process of running new feed and returns to the tank
@@NicksGarageUk just to add another thing in here I noticed a while ago you lost your rev counter. Rev counters are usually driven by crankshaft sensors. May be worth looking into this aswell
I can understand why you taken the old transit engine out they are slow and noisy but they are bullet proof and reliable but all the time and hard work putting the bmw diesel in (not a bmw expert) and it's all ready braking down can't you make the problem a bit simpler and use one fuel pump with the fuel system but im not a technical person im same as you but i couldn't do all that wireing like you have but good luck im sure you will sort it out mate
It literally has one issue I’m trying to get to the bottom of mate other than that it’s perfect,, I’m not getting enough pressure up to the fuel rail,, I have a third pump coming and I’m really hoping that’s the answer 🤞
We use one pump and one filter fitting m57 into defenders...think your complicating it...
Cheers,, it literally won’t start on one pump,, I am still having issues so I have a third pump coming today to try,,
Great work once again, well done
Cheers,, I will get there eventually
Should be titled, " I swapped out the World's most dependable engine and now big end bearings are a regular service item".
I have had several bmws and never had a big end issue,, I hated driving the banana engine if I’m honest,, love driving it with this engine
@@NicksGarageUk I was teasing and love the swap, but the 2.5dt is virtually indestructable, even if the belt snaps. Some BMWs I believe have big end bearings specified for the 80k miles service.
The DI was a nightmare on any hill,, the bmw engine is a dream to drive
@@matthewjenkins1161the real M cars because there race engines none of the others suffer unless the owner doesn't check the oil 😂
Some work there, really enjoying following the project.
Still a bit to do,, still having a few issues
I’m curious as to the two fuel pumps is this for pressure or flow ? What was the pump from the bmw like was it possible to fit it in with the mod that way you have the pump the engine had by design ? Cracking job though well done
One of the pumps was the bmw one,, that’s the one that broke,, the two pumps is because one just doesn’t seem to get the rail pressure
Love it great engine into the iconic smiley 👍
Once the teething problems are gone it will be great
Hello Sir! Thank you so much! Same problem. You method is working! My engine is running again!
Glad it helped
What gearbox you got in it?
Bmw 5 speed box
Hello nick good to meet you this morning hope the transit passed the mot
Evening pal,, yeah passed with no advisory’s 👍 great to meet you
I dunno if it was me but I'm sure that disk was cracked close to the hub
No it’s fine 👍
Very nice project. I like to do it also on my ldv400 instead old peugeot engine
Go for it!
I now own the car just failed mot again today on emissions only. Everything else passed with flying colours. Mot tester said its the aftermarket cat. Just bought a new approved cat for it hopefully will pass tommorow
Great work here! I thought the cosworth V6 going into my Transit was quite heavy at 183kg, i think the MT75 gearbox on it is less than 50kg (total= 233kg) but 306kg is astonishing.
Thanks for the info!
I really did think it was a lot of work and not a simple task to make that Bmw engine fit but at least you can use a computer and make parts for it (Not like me) technology I struggle with that's why I gave up being a mechanic my Nvq was in the mid 90s so I carried on being a welder fabricator instead and stick to Ford's or Vauxhall no later then 2005 I can fix but you're doing a great job to do everything correct for your transit that's a good lad helping dad out with it wish my two boys would of learned off me with my trade but wasn't interested it's going to be a great can for carrying vehicles and for towing will have some pulling power and sound great i did see you short clip of you driving it 👍
Crank sensor mate common courses hot start problems
I been watching you channel from start to finish with this build nice to see it on the road but your wife is happy now it out of garage 😂😂
Nearly still have a fuel issue
Good to see it back on the road it sounds great bet it goes well just depends what it's like with weight on or towing but should be fine as you did alot of work to fit that engine 👍
That is amazing
Sounds epic
sounds badass 👍
all coming together nicely mate you've done some really good work to sort it out 👍
Superb 🙌
Cheers,, nearly done now
Awesome work fella iam with the wife get the escort back in the garage ;)
Very soon hopefully 🤞
@@NicksGarageUk same i havnt touched bob since december time :(
Criminally undersubscribed channel, top drawer work again
I don’t help myself with the sporadic uploads,, I need to be more consistent
Love tinkercad used it for a few things to 3d print not that ive used them for a few years
Nice work mate 👍🏼👊
Crank sensor mate common courses hot start problems
Can you guys help me with wiring cause I just want to run m47 engine in replacement of n47
I would guess that you did not proceed with further fixups to this car
It’s in storage at the moment,, will be done soon
@@NicksGarageUk I bought the same 1983 Hatchback in Fall 1982, had it for 8 years. Would love to see if you can get this driving!
I will be doing 👍 keep an eye out
Really good job. Very neat.
Hello, I have the same problem, could you tell me how to send this part to you?
I watched you cut up an MX5 before this video. I will now watch in order. I have a similar plan so will be interesting to see how you go about it. Is there any particular reason you didnt start with a duratec engined car? When i say duratec i mean the mazda version. This will be good 🙂
I have had the escort 20 plus years,,, went with the Mazda to RWD it due to the dimensions
Great fabrication work Nick you make it look so easy but anyone whos done a bit welding knows how tricky some of the bits are. Very well done fella
Cheers,, appreciate it
Looking awesome fella, poor escort is looking like bob the orion a work bench lol
This should be sorted soon then I’m back on it
@@NicksGarageUk awesome fella
I’ve come across this video, I’m currently restoring my Transit Mk5 recovery truck and my reg is S602VOG. Must’ve surely been part of the same fleet?
It does sound like it
@@NicksGarageUk I’m currently working through your restoration video series. It’s fascinating watching you repair the same parts I’ve had to. Particularly around the cab. You’ve done a great job so far 👍🏻
Looking good that now.
Getting there
Hell of a job Nick , some really skilled work there. Can I ask What you do as a day job ? Cheers
No problem, I used to be a heating engineer but now work in sales,, everything car related is all self taught
