I am currently looking at the 27hp model - seems a good spec, but larger and equal weight to the engine it will replace so may not actually fit in the boat

Can anybody tell me the name of the Dutch company for spares please? I have a 442 and I can’t get hold of marine power solutions for spares. What is the name of the Dutch engine that is the same? Many thanks

Try a national car parts company called 'Andrew Page' they have branches everywhere they are excellent just tell them the filter number or take you old filter and they will match one up on their computer.
I had the same problem with an marine Isuzu engine, Isuzu filter price £13.50, Andrew Page £4.70

Many thanks but I'm a liveaboard in Portugal, and apart from the filters on the engine I don't have any spares! The guy from MPS did respond to emails last year but now nothing! Wish I had bought them last year! Thanks

I was considering an MP engine but want nothing to do with a dealer who cant sort out such a basic issue. What would/will happen if it's more serious?

Have they got HGV parts companies in Portugal? Take the old filters there and get them matched. In the UK I use fleetwheel for my filters, saves me a few Bob.

Thanks everyone. I have tracked down the parts which are pretty standard. For reference, the engine type is the MP-446. The fuel filter is a MANN part no WK712/2. The oil filter on the engine is a HIFI SO6159 (seem to be used on a New Holland tractor). the water pump is the type F5, and the impeller is Johnson ref 09-1027B-1. I've not found a local supplier for the HIFI filter yet but the distributor in Spain has responded very quickly to an email, plus I have the spec if I wanted to change brand. I have ordered 5 of each item to make sure I have stock!
All good in the end. It's a nice engine, seems very robust and simple. Shame the UK disti seems to have disappeared.

Google Timray Diesel Engines BV. This is the Dutch company mentioned earlier in the thread.
They have been in the business since 2005 and offer a 5 year warranty on their engines. Both the company and their product seem to have an excellent reputation and are very popular in Netherlands. We have had one of their engines since 2017 and have been very happy with it: robust, simple, heavy. Generally speaking of the "the village idiot can fix it" variety.
Parts shipped anywhere in Europe over night and reasonably priced. Example: BMC water pump, rebuild only, six weeks turnaround, 250.- Pounds Sterling plus shipping two ways. TMD water pump from Timray 30.- Euro, shipped over night.

Ah perfect many thanks. I have since found the filters etc but the name of this company is very useful. I have to say that I like the engine. It’s so robust it reminds me of a Bukh. Everything is very easy to reach for servicing…. So I’m happy just need a supply of parts! Thanks

Also, for parts check here: Bladt Diesel, Denmark. They sell the same engines and have parts in stock. Part lists on their site. Regular parts shipped within 24hrs, special parts take 5 days. Both Timray and Bladt websites in English.
