Bernardo,
I bought my dieselengine from a friend in England. It's out of a "freightrover". The engine is identical as the one out of a 90 or 110 but fits better in a series (because of the shape of the distributioncasing).
The freightrover was a light van used by the Post in England. You can find the same engine in a DAF400 light van.
I don't know about DAF's being used in Portugal, but in Belgium you can still find them.
Ring all the DAF-dealers and ask around (the engine is also know as Rover or DAF BN-engine : because of the letters "BN" being part of the chassisnr.) These vans were made end '80's begin '90's.
Expect to pay something between 250-500€ for a good engine.
The 2.5 diesel is ofcourse not as powerful as the tdi but is great in a series and far more reliable then the 2.3 diesel. Easy to work on if somethings happens in the Sahara.
