How many TD5 owners have checked the bolt on the oil pump for slackness?

If I recall they pre applied the thread locker in the 15p and onwards engines (Late 2002?) So never felt the need to check.. the worst part is I've had the sump off to clean and still forgot to check..

It's a bit of a gamble I suppose... you takes your chances by not checking it and hoping for the best, or you check it and find it's still where it was when the engine was built.

Done by the previous owner when he had the engine rebuilt - maybe that's why it needed rebuilding?
