Me again, Wendy.... 3years on, I again need a new engine, or possibly just a replacement head. Truck has been great until Thursday, suddenly lost all power on M23, again,,, transported home, 5 hours,.. Garage said head is too warped to be skimmed, as it was already recon. I know I'll have to pay fir this , I've had a rubbish year, my husband died 11 weeks ago, of a virus that affected his heart, which we both had whilst in France, ( with the truck), in March.... He loved the truck, so it's is purely sentimental, but I need this,.Anybody recommend supplier in South East ?

Evening, Sorry for the delay, it is a YD 25 engine, the garage have confirmed, I have heard terrible things re the engine remanufactureres i, that I posted about, evediently they were previously Heathrow engines and others,. My local garage have found a recon engine from Yeoamans Nissan, so that will be the one I'm going with, I know it is not fiscally practiable, but as I said before this is sentimental, as my husband who passed away 11 weeks ago, loved the truck,, we all plan for the futrure, but sometimes it just doesn't happen... you dont expect tp suddenly be struck down by a heart virus at 50. Hey Carpe Diem Xxx Wendy Betsyborisboris333 x

Of course, this engine , which was complete block, head, new timing chain and another new clutch, can to £5000. I know it probably wasn't worth it, but it is sentimentally, x
