Thanks for the Info, Engine out job it is then.

Thanks Western, do you think those other bolts were missed on the other posts? still wouldn't mind pictures if anyone has them

Has anyone got pictures of a 200tdi ladder frame which clearly shows the gearbox end of things and attachment to it? depending where you read, people have posted the ladder removal with the engine attached to the gearbox while other posts including the maintenance manual say otherwise. Seems a bit of a daft design to do it the latter that way.I could see them locating the frame on dowels or something at the back end,but you'd think it'd be a straight forward job to drop the oil pan and ladder frane to access the con rods for re-ringing the pistons.

It's on my days off so I shall make it down this year - anyone else comming from Canada? hope these wading kits work !!!!!!!!!!!!!
