It looks like a five cylinder. Seems nice and clean ! I have found a manual for the VM 2.5 TD its for (4) four cylinders but apparently its the same with an added cylinder. https://www.uscars.biz/uscars/jeep-documents/manuel_atelier_moteur_vm_diesel.pdf. Still collecting info....

Excellent thread !

Thanks Rodger, I was thinking more about the fit, I was going to do the job myself, so I wanted to get away from any modifications, just a plug and play. I've been down the "make it work"route, making adapter plates and all that nonsense before with land rovers, don't want to start all that...

Thanks for the info, going to have to look at the dipstick hole see whats going on. Its just beginning to send white smoke signals out the back . I have a good idea which cylinder is misbehaving. Gonna start collecting parts for a cylinder head gasket change and possible a cylinder head change.

Would love you to email it to me. [email protected]. Thanks in advance

Okay..

Why can't I download any files ? I have more than 20 posts.

As long as you have hot water for a shower and a decent toilet !! ;-)

Cool !!

Looks like fun !!

Is there a BJ73 with a coil spring, Conversion ?

Thinking about doing an engine swap onmy BJ73, alternatives right now are the 12 HT and the 13BT. Any thoughts?

Hmmmm, the research that I have gathered is pointing in the same direction. I am going to have to make provisions for an engine swap.

The vehicle (BJ73)that I bought seems a bit high, and before doing anything to the suspension I would like to check whether the vehicle has been lifted or not. Are they are definitive measurements to check for to see if any modification have been made ?

It has two batteries, but I looked at the headlamps and they had 12V moulded on them. Going to take some decents pics!
