I did consider that as I knew you'd been breaking one, but to be honest, I can't find the will to start stripping it down to get the pump off (no locking tools for chain) and putting it all back together when I start to think about what life might be left in the turbo etc.... Also the price that V6's with under 90K warranted miles go through at Auction puts me off Diesels now - especially when I think about LPG'ing a nice silky smooth V6...

Ooooo, did you see a PFL with a pikey box on the roof hacking down the M5?  I did see a lot of Omegas, through the spray.
