[Xtremeteam]

as some on here will Kno my Tdi had a lack of oil pressure which was temerarily cured with a new oil pump but it still had a small rattle when you lifted of the power,well that little rattle is now a healthy chap & it wont turn over so i think its dead,got a Def 200Tdi lined up to go init BUT im now neading an injection pump as the engine i have the pump smokes a bit & the stop solenoid gets fowled up with swarf,what i found on investigation was the top side of the diaphram was full o engine oil & when i tried to remove the diaphram & plunger it woul turn 1/4 of an inch but wouldnt come out,im thinkin its scrap??
