Thank you - I agree too.
total cost of repair was £3300 excluding labour (brother did it for beer)
Going better than it ever was, too. |

No. Wow.
Timing belt broken by alternator belt coming loose and twisting around it.
Probably inevitable though, in the photos they're well worn.. |

No such menu on my 2009 TD4. |
