Got this knocking about the yard, the owner bought it on impulse because he thought the engine would make a good doner for something retro. I've been trying to find info on the net of how swappable they are but can't really find anything. It's not so much the fitting it but getting it to run, do these have any complicated immobilisers or management that might make using it as a doner awkward? Just trying to get some idea of what would be involved in getting it running before I put the effort into pulling it all out

What year is it? Has it got the normal ignition key or the electronic one? Either way it will have an immobiliser and an ECU, its just that the electronic key version is more complicated to sort out.

Just search for OM605, you'll probably want a mechanical pump of an earlier single cam OM602, or the Ssangyong Musso 2.9td which uses a suitable mechanical pump too. Downside of the mechanical pumps is that they flow less fuel as standard, but they can be modified by specialists to throw a lot of fuel into those Mercedes diesel engines

Sounds promising, if I can't get it to work on the original management at least there's a back up option of switching to a mechanical pump. Cheers for the help lads That corolla looks amazing!
