    Pippin, while I'd love to love these models, and have a glass half full approach, experience has taught me that they will never have my full trust , they are nowhere as tough an engine as say the TD5 , maybe the OP would prefer the facts. yes , maybe I'm jaded by working on these ( but I still like to give them the best care I can ), but the failure rate is unacceptable
    Fair enough Discovery, I like to think it generally comes down to being careful how they are driven and regular servicing to minimise the risk of engine failure.

    Yep same bloke and he fully admitted to having done bare minimum maintenance for many years. Says he’s heard many reports how nice you’ve fixed it up.

    So the coolant leak was the standard plastic coolant fitting top of motor and not core plugs?

    With the broken coolant tank float is the low coolant light permanently on?

    Where are these numbers coming from?

    $25k was a brand new long motor installed by a dealer with a full factory warranty.

    It’s about $6k now

    Yep 25k. For a new one. It was posted on here years ago. I see it's now a lot cheaper as people are putting in second hand ones. Can't imagine you could get a crate one. Why would you want to pay for a crate version anyway? Better to get a good 2.7 rebuilt using billeted gear that Justin was referring to.

    Yep so what $10k second hand installed as noted above. Not fun. Not for older vehicles. Having said that $10k buys you a good top hat brand new reco 4.6 with some attention to detail (fitted) to.D2. But neither idea floats my boat much.
    Cheers

    Remember when a TD5 injector was a ridiculous price?
    Or a replacement head was $6k

    These things change over time.
    The engines were never “rebuildable” either...

    Yeah dead right. So many of the modern motors just can't be rebuilt or can't feasibly be rebuilt. Cheers
