............. looks like getting a mechanic to have a look as we at a loss now. Sorry hope I have made sense thanks Shirley
S,
Who changed acquired and fitted the replacement engine? If you did it yourself it needs a serious looking at by GOOD diesel mechanic. If it was a garage, surely you must go back to them to resolve this serious deficiency. Hopefully it's something simple and there is a quick fix.
Best wishes,

Hi, start with the cheapest options first, have you jacked up the van to make sure the brakes are not binding, tyre pressures are correct, tracking is spot on, no roof lights open when travelling, roof etc clean, whilst each one on its own will not make to much difference but if you add them all up it counts, as does carrying too much weight. has the timing belt been checked and the spill timing on the pump. I had a 1984 Autohomes Excalibur with the non turbo 2500cc engine and it was capable of 70 + if it had to. if it was a lack of air to the engine you would get black smoke from unburned fuel, it might be the pump wants opening up a bit, have you had a recent mot if so what were the exchaust readings?
If you go down the injector route I would go to a specialist as they should have the right equipment to check it out!! Good luck.
Firstly you cant remap a talbot express, it doesnt have an ECU. Secondly try the most basic thing first, find out if its getting full throttle, press and hold the accelerator pedal to the floor and get someone to look under the bonnet and see if the arm on the pump where the cable fits is fully open. DO THIS WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING. if you are unsure where to look get someone to work the pedal up and down while you look under the bonnet and you will see the pump arm moving back and forth.
Hi Again, In answer to your questions. We changed the engine ourselves and have decided to get a good diesel mechanic to have a look, Hubby great with petrol engines but never worked on a diesel before now, Have checked all of your suggestions and elimenated them one by one, so we booking it in today. will keep you all posted many thanks Shirley
Surely this base vehicle has non electronic injection?? Mechanical injection pump etc. Take it to a good diesel injection specialist, get them to replace the injectors with properly refurbished ones and re setup the injection pump.
When we had this done to our old bus (Bedford Duple) it transformed it.
