    The engine has about 140,000km, the rest of the car has about 230,000. It threw a conrod about two years ago, so put a second hand engine in, cost me a fortune.

    I had Ayers look in the engine, there are broken rockers and a broken cam chain, and lots of bits of broken metal in the top end. It looks like the cam chain snapped because the cam seized with the broken bits and once it lost a lifter the oil pressure went. It's not worth pulling the bottom end off as it would be stuffed. We looked in at the turbo and that was fine.

    They deal with Land Rovers every day, and said they have only seen five TD5s destroy themselves totally, and two of them have been mine.

    Heard from the new owner of my D2 that my fuel tank was full of fungus. Possibly what caused the engine failure, leaned out just long enough to wreck it.
