I'm not 100% sure on why it failed but it happened quite quickly, it started knocking really loudly and smoke and oil was coming out of the filler cap , I managed to get it home but then it stopped running completely, I know it was probably fixable but the nature of my job is I needed it back on the road ASAP so I bought a recon tall engine , the guy who sold me the recon engine took mine in exchange and is going to shed some light when he strips it down .... also on my other Transit a few years back I had worn cams and tappets ect and the cost of fixing that was 1800 whereas I got the tall engine for 1200 and brother fitted it for nothing .

Nowadays I'm a courier maself , you do realise it was probably your injectors clamp bolt that broke as that the symptoms when the poxy £4 bolt snaps.....
If its not that then your injectors have melted a piston so you shouldn't have fitted them without getting them properly tested

The guy who took my old engine in exchange stripped it yesterday and said I had a cracked piston ,and damage to the crank ,unfortunately he couldn't remember what piston it was so I'm taking the injectors to a diesel/electric shop.
