Bought a unfinished T25 (T3) with AHU Tdi fitted but not running.
Found previous owner had just bolted the engine to original gearbox/clutch so after thinking was seized due to standing was relieved to find was just interferance between bellhousing and pressure plate.
Now after buying correct diesel T25 flywheel and clutch have engine turning over, fitted wiring harness after pruning it down to engine only stuff but although had immobiliser deleated didnt start (bled filter using small pump to suck from container until diesel flowed out of return pipe), checked and didnt have 12v at fuel shut off valve, wire fed from ecu on pin 53 and continuity fine from socket to valve so think ecu (ecm) is faulty, have ordered another via E-Bay so when get it will try again (told even without immobiliser disabled should still start but will cut out after couple of seconds)
Hopefully on latter stages of project (engine running wise at least)
