Yes. For the sake of a couple of hours work to R&R the sump, it's definitely worth checking.

My 9/2000 Td5 did not have loktite on the oil pump bolt. It was not loose when checked but I fixed it anyway at 90k.

Anectdotally LR fixed this by 2001 builds but the only sure way is to pull it and check?

can anyone report on post 2000 models, did they have the locktite or not?

as far as i know.. my oct 2002 td5 disco didnt have loctite. It wasnt very loose but also wasnt tight. I will be geting the 2002 defender checked soon too.

Thanks
