Have a good spare engine in stock so not too worried. If a garage have written the engine off I am more hopeful it isn't too bad ! Love the finding out bit ! I'll extract what info I can but have a feeling the seller is not the owner who would know about the failure.

TD4 is 6.8 Litres with filter.

MOT history says all is mostly well. Know nothing of engine failure details but have a spare !! Would be rare for a TD4 to destruct unless turbo has caused run away. Paid about the price of tyres on it so worth a shot.

Apparently, but we'll see ! Picking up tomorrow.

Powder coat seems to be the way to go. Remember to either go for black centre caps or get them colour matched.

Why did engine on or off affect this??

Good stuff. Shows new, known manufacturer's components can still let you down. Glad it's sorted.

Yep, been living near the seaside !! That's why it is donating its goodies before being recycled !! Not a single like for April 1st. ☹️

Absolutely free way to lift suspension. Take all unnecessary components off and up it goes ! Biggest difference was made when the insulation tape was taken off the wiring loom. Have a great DAY 👍 See photos. .

It can be done. Undo hub nut. Loosen trailing arm to hub bolt. No need to do more than a couple of turns. Undo and remove trailing arm to chassis bolt and let arm hang. Undo lower arm to subframe bolts x2. Unbolt handbrake cable clip to subframe to allow slack. Hub then pulls out enough to get...

Figured if anyone would know those parts it might just be you. :)

Do reverse lights stay on with engine running ??

Need to find out why it is 8.8 V at the fuse. If battery is 12.7 V. Maybe a bad battery terminal or loose ?? Good luck on your fuse hunt.

At 8.8V then you battery also needs charging if it is not damaged.

The 120A fuse is the main feed to the ignition switch and then on to many functions... I have posted the circuit. Any 120 A fuse that fits will be fine.
