I've looked at all the sites listed above and can't find a workshop manual for the Volvo Penta 2D-40 .... I've also searched using Google and haven't found anything of serious use other than the "exploded" diagrams. Does anyone know where you can get a decent workshop manual for the 2D-40? Free if possible, if not I'll pay for one.

[/ QUOTE ]There isn't one online for free download, and I've never seen one listed for sale. So I guess you'll have to ask a VP dealer. It seems that VP have been getting rather protective of their technical publications in the last couple of years, probably to try to support their dealers' workshops.

Have you tried on ebay?
Okay, not free, but not expensive either.

What's the 2D-40 based on? Maybe there's a white van Haynes manual that will give the basics.

Is the VP 2D 40 the same as the Perkins 402D? Some Volvos are Perkins engines and the designation is very similar.
Just a thought.

The Volvo Penta D1/D2 range is based on Perkins engines.

The D30 is a 600hp monster - do you mean the D1-30? That's only 28hp.

The variety of Centaur engines - from the WOA site.
"A variety of engines was offered over the years, with the first brochure talking of "petrol or diesel”. Most of the early boats had the Volvo MD 11, which rated about 16 hp. However, during 1972 Volvo offered Westerly an amazing quantity discount on the MDIIB, 25 hp diesel, which was the "recommended", (and almost the only) engine fitted from then on. Also on offer were the single cylinder MD1B, at 10 hp, the Watermota 4 cylinder 25 hp (later uprated to a massive 30 hp). and the 13 hp, 2 cylinder MD7A. I believe that the smaller engines were offered as standard with the bigger Volvo as a very cheap extra, since there are very few Centaurs with small engines, even though the MD7A would have given a top speed of nearly 6 knots"
