Haha, I guess its a bit different! Its a 1991 5 speed manual, and should be almost exactly the same as your 87 300D engine but with the front cylinder chopped off, so its a 2.5l 5 cylinder, and 94hp. Nice and simple compared to the turbo automatics, the worst a vaccum leak will get me is failure to shut off. I'll get some other photos tomorrow and put them up.

I think I've pretty much decided that this should be electromagnetically coupled but has a load of parts missing. I think I'm just going to remove that freewheeling fan and shrowd and put on an electric. I'm in the UK so it never gets that hot, and I dont have AC or a stalled torque converter at idle to suck power and generate heat, so dont really need a big engine driven fan.
