Thread: Fact or Fiction

Yep it's a fact,all small diesels fail at 300k on the button and yes Td5 cranks go soft and you need to spend 10 grand for a new engine as they cannot be rebuilt because thier European so parts are impossible to get and very exxy and they aren't made to be repaired,I know all this for a fact because a bloke down the pub said it and his cousin works for Toyota and told him,he also drives a Toyota.

55000ks and I will let you know.

I've never heard that re the crank - people would be well aware of that by now.

I think that there are some high power small capacty engines from other manufacturers that don't have durability due to melting pistons etc. The TD5 is not one of those.

Appears to be just starting to happen over here in the West.
Thinking about getting onto the mob who service my Disco and see what they say.

As usual, Pats on the money,,
LR have been stocking up on cranks waiting for the "fleet" to gather mileage,,

Great!
People invest in diesel powered engines because of there durability & economical to run
300k & 10 grand later,
no offence to anyone, & is only my opinion, but i think I'll stick to the V8 on LPG.

I just have a suspicion that this thread is a TROLL followed by a JOKE, followed by a HOOKING.
