Umm, went to get new filters, glow plugs etc today but when I looked at them none of them fit. So what engine is this then?.

It certainly looks like a 4cyl diesel to me, and if it is, the engine number should start : OM616.....

Where did you get the parts from?
 
I went to Southern Motor Factors to get the parts.
I had either a large diameter air filter or flat air filter.
Fuel filter was about 300mm long and oil filter small. They also gave me a primary fuel filter which I couldn't see on the car but assume it should be before the fuel filter. I need to get a manual.
 
As above, what's the engine number??
 
That's a pneumatic governor IP, not a mechanical governor.
 
Sorry my mistake, you are right its a pneumatic governor IP.

This might explain why the exhaust has been bodged onto the engine manifold. Would a W123 exhaust go onto this engine or an W115 exhaust go onto the W123 car?.

Whare would I get parts and a manual for this engine?
 
Engine Update :-

Engine number 61601108001ME
