Hi All
Took my 55 plate TD4 for MOT after 6 weeks off road since failing the last one.
Fixed everything that it failed on last time.
Got a call from the garage to say they abandoned MOT as they think there is an issue with the engine bottom end.
Any advice?

Thanks.

To get it ready for MOT I've:
Replaced propshaft bearings & universal joints
New fuel pump & filter
New brake light switch & abs sensors

It's not unheard of for the crankshaft of the TD4 to fail, especially if there has been a pulley replacement and a powerful air gun was used to remove the pulley bolt.
