Breaking a TD5

HI all,

As said in last post got a cracked cylinder head (No 1 port) was going to buy new head + fitting kit from turner eng £1500, but now the heads come off No 1 + No 2 pistons shot and the inside of No 1 barrel shot, so my options now

1. new engine from turners £4000 + labour?

2. second hand engine about £2000 + labour?

3. buy another 4x4 and dismantle my td5

4. buy another 4x4 and sell td5 as is

Has anyone ever dismantled one and was it worth while, any other ideas welcome.

Cheers Paul

this might be worth a go for you. I haven't had any dealings with them but at that price it might be worthwhile even if you want to then sell it on after.

Cheers ratty,

that looks like option No5, 1600 quid all in, including pickup and del. They've got there own web site nationalenginecentre.co.uk.

Has anybody used them.
