What build year is your TD5?
I have never heard of this problem before. What is LRA saying about it?

We had to abandon Tusker at Birsdville last week. What started as an oil leak worsened to the point the engine was pushing oil out under pressure like a tap. You can trace our travels around Birdsville by following the trails.
A hair-line fracture developed at the front of the block, near the alternator, above an external oil line that seems to feed the timing cover. Has anyone heard of this before?
LandRover Assist were pretty good, it'll be shipped to an Adelaide dealer for repairs under warranty.
Oh the joys of LandRover ownership.

Build date is June 03, bought new in Dec 03.
At this stage the official line is its going to the nearest dealer for repair. In Adelaide in a couple of weeks. So it hasn't been assessed for warranty yet. The fun is about to begin. Again.

that's a real bastard Max.
I wonder if the oil line fitting is a taper fitting into the block and it's been screwed in too tight at the factory........?????????
Major part of the heart and soul of AULRO.comI hope it's not the cracked block problem that Terry Ryeland just had.

Max - how many km's does yours have up?
I'm becoming more and more nervous about Td5 ownership now that I have 180,000km up. I also keep hearing rumours about big-end problems on high-maileage Td5's from somewhere too. After hearing a Tdi300 idle and run next to mine the other day, it sounded rumbly and smooth compared to mine which kind of "crackles" along. I don't like the sound of a Td5 if muneis representative at all.
I think I might take a trip down to Bruce Davis or Graeme Cooper for their opinion.
