    It only needs a little bit of a buff to fix that.

    pigs ass, Ive already got dibs on it....

    aparently according to a "landrover expert" who caught me eyeing it off its not worth having as the engine wont restart.... but will still turn over although the fan scrapes the radiator.

    Lift pump location.jpg

    for those who dont have isuzu engines....

    thats the main lift pump and the spot on the side of the Fuel injection pump its ment to be attached to.. the observant will also note the torn off fuel lines.

    Oil filter.jpg
    For TD5 owners its also an extremely effective way of removing the oil filter
    but you will have to have the primary impact on the left hand side of the vehicle.

    thats the oil filter in the background, the round hole with the other small holes around it...


    I have about 15 more photos of that showing that the chassis has bent and folded exactly as designed leaving most of the damage infront of the bulkhead and very little distortion inside the compartment.
