Now I’m not sure with diesels... Is the cambelt supposed to look like this going around the bottom pulley.  Or is a possible cause in the sudden demise of my car on Wednesday, in lane 4, rush hour M6.   |

See if you can borrow a vacuum tester to see if valves are sealing on the 16v JTD's you can sometimes get away with just replacing the rocker arms that will be smashed. If the rockers have fully fallen to bits you need to fish all the needle rollers out of the head and count them to make sure none are missing. If they are you can sometimes fish them out of the oil drains using a long magnet but if not its sump off and get them out that way. Don't leave them in, it makes a real mess when you do.

Hate it when that happens. Had it once with a near new Mitsi L300 (33,000 km). It died in traffic and wouldn't restart. Took the oil cap off and cranked it over. Rockers not moving. Oh, that'll be it. Boss wasn't impressed when I called him to say his van was dead and I'd already called the AA for a tow.

I was going to say the same as Stealthstylz.
Being a 16v JTDm engine, a cambelt failure isn't always the end of the world.

Removed pulley and waterpump, I don’t think the waterpump is supposed to be at that angle and I am also do not think the pulley should be like it is, new one for scale next to it.😁 Also picture of the rockers that did not snap, all 16 have been changed.   |
