I don't know really, but what's in the pic doesnt look like a Td5 to me... when you said "short" i thought you meant what they usually call "short engine", like this Turner Engineering - Replacement and Remanufacturer of Land Rover Engines including 300TDI, 200TDI, TD5, V8, turbo diesel & petrol etc, available from stock

If the sumps off surely worth checking mains? Or can't you do that on these? Never stripped one?

Yeah the mains can be checked and done from below, so can the big ends. Pretty sure the thrusts can also be done.

That's what I would do before I even thought of a new pump!

Aye, as I already said, the engine needs pulling and fully inspecting - I know it's a pain but worth doing because the cost of new parts can then be weighed against the cost of a replacement engine (which as James said I'd also want to check the bearings on).
