    td5 sump full of diesel!!!!

    It seems likely that either injector seals gave up or has been said the internal galleries that supply diesel to and take excess away fro the injectors has a tiny crack in it / gone porous, mine did and would push 2 litres of diesel into oil in just 150miles.A s you have figured this soon...

    td5 heater problems

    Look at turner engineeering or paddocks spares for injectors,and required seals for each of them, and buy it yourself and get garage to fit it, it might save you a 100 and I see you are really having a bad time of it, me too so all sympathy. Ask all questions, however silly you feel at least...
