    Depends, if you do them right then a rebuilt Td5 should continue to give you excellent service for a long time.
    What level of rebuild?
    The Phantom - Oslo Blue 2001 Td5 SE.
    Half dead but will live again!

    Nina - Chawton White 2003 Td5 S
    Slowly being improved

    Have a search for PS Simpson's extensive rebuild thread and decide for yourself. Others will chime in here.

    cheers, DL

    The two TD5 rebuild threads of recent times that I recall were by Offtrack and PSimpson7. I'll see if I can find them for you.

    As said what do you call a rebuild? Most modern diesels in 4x4s dont rebuild well. Case in point at work if a diesel Toyota, Ranger or Colorado engine pops, a new engine goes in and the old one is just robbed for spares.

    It wasn't me

    There have been a few reports of Td5 rebuilds - I can't recall who it was but one Melbourne member had a rebuild done by Fred Smith in Bayswater and was very happy with the results.

    I did find the thread of yours that i thought i remembered, but it was a head replacement rather than a full rebuild. It stuck in my memory as a full rebuild for some reason.

    I'd Best wait for the OP to let us know what type of rebuild he's looking at before linking to any threads.

    It was long winded enough to have been a full rebuild, perhaps that was the problem

    The engine had been dusted when we bought it, no.1 bore was had it, it was re sleeved and all bored out 020, New pistons rings bearings etc ,block decked, New valves , head skimmed , runs really well but drops off over about 2800 rpm, we were told not to rebuild it but did, have had it checked by a lr place and they agree it's not quite right and they say it's probably because we rebuilt it, which I don't agree with, now had it chipped goes better but still lame after about 2800 rpm. Has been on the nanocom and auto logic, nothing wrong.

    cheers James
