Thread: dead td5 what to replace with

Is the Crank not salvageable?
Is a new crank more than a second hand motor?

Hi Tony. Mate I just let them do whatever they think was best and if the crank being changed on a motor with 270k was not the best option, I was fine with that, at this time of the year, I have been flat out with work related things both in the day to day running of a distribution and transport business as well as expansion plans for the new year, I live in Perth but from the time the motor stuffed up till christmas eve I had spent around two days a week travelling between Perth and Albany, so all decessions were made over the mobile phone and the easiest was the late model td5 , so I hope I dont regret it.
