Thread: Diesels don't run on water I told him........

I've been there, both the drowned and the recovery. All up it cost me about $2k, which included TD42 engine, freight, engine crane, oil, filters and a couple of tools.

Thats cheap

The replacement engine still had about 80,000km to run in as it only had 120,000km on the odo. Engine $1500, freight $125 (from Auck), Crane $250.
