    To assist any who may be in doubt or concerned. I checked with the stealer regarding my fender and was advised the defect was rectified at factory level sometime prior to July 2003. The bloke I spoke to didn't have the exact date, but informed me the VIN of my fender was not in the range containing the issue.

    So a call to your friendly stealer may resolve whether action is necessary.

    It's a bit like the old plastic head aligning pins issue and oil in the ECU loom, both of which were rectified some time back.

    Cheers

    Plastic dowels are not an issue that I am aware of.
    Leaking injector looms are still an issue, as yet not proven to have been resolved.

    Well there ya go. Thanks cobber. Re the plastic dowels, I heard they were an issue way back. Even before I bought mine. I was speaking to a bloke on Saturday who has an early TD5 130. He had overheating problems which Austral couldn't fix. It ended up being the head moving and closing off some of the water jacket ports. Austral had to ring the UK who told them they knew of it and to ring a bloke in S.Africa who knew about it and the fix. So I have to beg to differ on that one.
    Plus ... if it wasn't an issue, why did they change to steel?

    The wiring loom fix didn't work.
    For the effort required to check I would just do it.

    I heard that it was Ford who initiated the change to steel.
    If the engine overheats with the plastic ones, the head can move and allow the valves to damage the bores.
