OK, This 04 plate JTD I have had lying here for over a year, I need to finally fix it!
Bought it with a duff engine, changed the engine, while preparing it, two glowplugs snapped and I had to take the head off.
Having fitted it, it turns over nicely, but once it starts running it sounds like horrific diesel knock.
Runs smoothly (but noisy), drives fine - even passes the MOT test.
Now - I have a funny feeling the head gaskets for these are available in several different thicknesses - can anyone advise here?
I may try changing the head gasket for a thicker one, as the (another) spare engine I have I would rather sell to my mate who needs one.
So if anyone can tell me a) if there are different thicknesses of gasket available and b) how to tell which one SHOULD be fitted, then both myself and my mate would be very grateful.
