I mentioned that TD5's were known for that, it was amazing how fast he jumped on to the defensive and said that the mechanic had only ever seen three fail.

He said that mine was the most catastrophic failure they sad seen. What an honour.

Can anyone confirm the correct part numbers for the Oil Pump Bolt and Sump Gasket?
Numbers I have found are:
LYP101400 - Oil Pump Bolt
LVF500040 - Sump Gasket (Is the sump gasket VIN specific)

Vehicle is 2003 D2a TD5 Auto.

Thanks,
Chris

and yes LVF500040 is the latest sump gasket number for all VIN's
