Evening all!
Plans for getting away in the immediate future have been dashed with the MOT failure of our 1991 (though a lot of parts are stamped 1990) Talbot
Express 1000 D with a 2499 cc non-turbo diesel.
The problem is:
"Fuel system component leaking (7.2.1a)"
the component being the plastic injector leak-off rail which has cracked and is allowing diesel to spurt over the engine.
Sevel say that the part is no longer available and that they are unaware of there being any in the country.
Delfin aren't answering their phone ...
I believe that the engine is the same as that used in a Peugeot J5 and the Citroen 25 vans - can anybody here absolutely confirm that?
Does anybody have any suggestions as to where this component might be sourced? I don't really want to buy a whole engine from eBay!
Whilst I'm not suggesting any kind of "bodge" where fuel is concerned - might it be possible to have a functionally equivalent thing assembled from parts usually fitted to other vehicles? Any experience or guidance gratefully received.
We've asked over in preloved as well - but no feedback as yet.
Hoping that the accumulated wisdom here might help us out ...
Thanks
