Terminal Cut Out

Post by pikeykev » Sat Apr 13, 2019 1:30 pm

Well my beloved D3 has just died of the car equivalent of a sudden cardiac arrest. I came home from work, pulled across the road to reverse onto the drive and the engine cut out. Trying to restart it results in lots of noise and vibration. My guess is the Cam belt tensioner on the top of the oil pump has snapped off. Long story short, I am looking round a D4 on Monday and will be breaking my D3 if anyone wants any bits!

Well, that's not good! :(

How many miles? Not that that is a particular marker for this type of failure!

My D3 died at 166k. I already had a D4 but that got sold last October. Miss the D3, apart from financially, but not the D4, never really bonded with it. Now LRless, and will stay that way. :thumbright:
