crusader:
A Friend of mine rolled his Disco 200 tdi  :roll:

The Truck was upside down for Approx 5-10 mins with the engine running!:shock:

as my mate was dazed?

 So he could'nt say exactly how long?:shock:

However now the Engine only runs on 3 cylinders with
Number one  not firing at all?  :?

Before the Rollover this engine plulled like  a steam train with no smoke!  :D

Has anyone had a similer experience with this sort of Engine Problem?
and if so what was the Outcome?  :shock:

beast5680:
nev you may find one of the cylinders had oil in and locked up causing damage to either the cylinder or the valves when it was upside down

dervs will run upside down aslong as they can get derv to them
all be it alsong as they have a dry sump loob system  :roll:

now theres two ways of looking at this.....1 its completely f'd i.e big ends, mains, little ends, scored bores ect ect due to lack of oil
or

he has been luck and just bent a rod as the oil that was in the sumpe getting pump'daround the engine, was then being chucked around the place by the moving pistons and crank, which would have kept things nice and wet
ok the top end would have suffered until the oil reched it but, afink he got off lightely and just bent a rod on no 1 cyl
did it stop itself ?
was it locked and need the glow plugs removed to get oil out ?
