I would say that is scrap, remember back in the day when 200s were new they had a rep for snapping cranks, I even bought one that had just been rebuilt after a crank failure.

All the time hgvs are diesel then diesel will be available. But for the cheapest owner experience I would be going petrol.

I knew it would cheer you up, nice not to be forgotten, I have always told the younguns at work when you pass on knowledge that you learnt off of some old fart always say where you learnt it from, as that will make the old fart happy even if he is dead! I am always saying if you do it this way...

Think my 90 has the +5 inch ones, they have blue shrouds if that helps any?

Bit more off of Turners. https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk/products/err-1181-crankshaft?_pos=4&_sid=96475c640&_ss=r

ERC1181, pls do check that is the correct part number before buying! Just thinking engineers time plus machining/polishing might come to more than a new one costs...

Looks like that has had water in there, if keeping it I would get a machine shop to take a look at it. Iirc std 200 cranks are not mega money.

Countersunk pop rivets?

I think the fact the alloy sheet is flat is going to be your biggest enemy, ie it can wibble/wobble like a thunder sound board is going to make a glued joint fail.

Reading that will make Gary a happy bunny, what you reckon @gstuart?

Think the pump deuse fuel system only runs at 4 bar on the td5, high pressures are actually generated at the injector itself. Being a tightwad I would chuck a litre or two of oil the the tank and run it. I had a td5 years ago and I ran it on all sorts of crap dirty diesel, to be fair it had...

Ah so the clearances were to tight? I had in my mind they would be slack, if that is the case that makes a lot of sense. If that is all it was I would be buying a lottery ticket:banana:

Is that still blowing out of the air filter?

Premium bonds are okay, safer than betting as you can always get your initial sum back, though you have to remember cash devalues 50 percent every 10 years, well it is still worth the same but buys 50 precent less stuff, plus you might just win something.

Will be a CAV pump of some variant.

I think we will be okay, two adults both with two pensions, plus one house possibly two to rent out, of course if she leaves me that will all change!

Rochecter city diesel in er Rochester, he probably has one of the shelf. Peter is his name and he can talk more than me! Quick google will give you his phone number, if you can give him any numbers off the pump it might help. Enter co name into google maps and it is pretty accurate, well one...

Many moons ago we went to see an ifa for our first mortgage, he was a huge round man called Alan Middleton Stewart, and I really liked the bloke gave good advice, and yes he had a large house in a lot of ground with a very nice car! The co he worked for then sold out to another and so on a few...

Check levels and drive it.

I have my doubts being mid 50s is even worth adding/starting to any pension. Recently changed job and decided I am not starting another pension at 56. I think existing ones means I will be able to retire early and keep afloat until state pension kicks in.
