    TD5 oil pump bolt and Pro Vent.

    G'Day y'all.
    I have just been reading past threads about the TD5 oil pump bolt coming adrift and causing all sorts of trouble. It seems the concensus that the bolt HAS to be checked and loctited in properly regardless of the age the engine is (mine is a 2004) and Km covered (62000). Is this the feeling everyone has? I am going to do it anyhow I feel. Also can someone give me some more info on the Pro vent system like cost, where from and how to fit.
    Regards in advance
    Robbo.

    use the search engine for fitting the provent and yes if you dont know that the bolt is loctited in you are best advised to check it and make sure.

    It was my understanding that this issue was fixed in the 2a Disco.

    Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any conclusive evidence to say that the problem was fixed in the later models.

    General feeling is, if you own a D2 of any variant, age or mileage, check the bolt.

    Besides, it will help you sleep better at night...

    oil pump bolt

    I agree! check it regardless of year model.It was first thought that it was only in a limited run of the earlier models,then reports came in of the problem cropping up in later models as well.
    Best to be sure.

    Consider the oil pump bolt as a grenade with a faulty pin!!!!
    Pay the money get it fixed.
    Ive just bought a TD5 Defender,it will be done at the next service thats almost due,JUST IN CASE!!!! Did my TD5 D2 ages ago,will be done again whilst the clutch/rear main seal is done in the next few weeks.

    I have a 2001 D2, checked the bolt at 110,000, and was tight, checked it again at 220000 and still tight..
    Dad has a 2004 D2a, and I had been telling him for ages,CHECK THE BOLT, so finally at 100000 service he get it checked..It only had 2 threads holding it in...

    I dont think it matters what year,GET IT CHECKED


    Cheers Ean
