    Sorry to hear that mate... 1st - check (Possibly remove and put back) connections to ALL engine sensors, and be very suspicious of the cam sensor...

    Worst case scenario is the diesel pump seals mate...

    New manifold mate so won't need them thank you anyway.

    Its repairable but very very expansive.

    If I hadn't spent so much on her in the last few months I would have given up and called her a write off.

    From what I read it looks like a piston 2 valves manifold topend gasket set and possibily the head crown cleaned up and maybe the valve seats redone if they have marked up . :mellow:

    It you look at that link I sent you to the blockoff plates you can see a pick of the damage when it just eats a screw .
