| Thanks, will have a look. Think the spades should be ok. Had that problem a few years ago and sorted it. I seem to have had most of the common TD5 issues. |

| Had same problem on mine a few years ago. Replaced seals didn't sort it. Got a new AMC Head and have had no issues since. I could not see any cracks on the old head when examined |

| Any A1, B1 semi or fully synthetic 5W30 or 5W40. If changing at 6000 miles use semi, if changing at 12,000 miles fully synthetic is better. |

| I never went near the lash adjusters when I did mine but I did replace the injector rocker arm bolts along with the injector adjustment screws and lock nuts. |

Thanks for clarifying that. In mine the main relay sits beside the fuel pump relay under the seat and was the main relay that gave problems.
