Yep.... me too. After the number of posts on it and my advice to others and the fact this is the 5th TD5 to be in the family, all previously done, blah, blah......as it had just arrived it was to be checked and new sump gasket along with seals done after the move . It had to simply go 500m down the road, that's it....hindsight......nuts ( or bolts) to me!

New rule.... don't start a TD5 if the bolt hasn't been checked

The only upside to this is, once it's sorted you should have a perfect machine for a good 200k kms or so

Some positive news, I sourced a good crank right here in Alice
Some new bearings from Sutton LR this week and back together we go.
