Well done changing that in time!
Have we had the results of the oil pump casing analysis yet? Surely all these failures point to a design flaw?2007 Base D3 - Buckingham Blue

Never seen one that bad
That could have been, quite literally, one more journey before that fell off...
EDIT: Has it had belts before? Just the couple of marks on the front cover, would appear they have already been doneMy D3 Build Thread

I'm scared, so I wonder....
it is reasonable to disassemble my engine to inspect preventively the state and type of oil pump?
which is time and cost can have this operation?
the mine is an SALLA****6A369**** ...date of manufacture 11-nov-2005lost in translation!

Hour or so for a look see, only viscous fan and alternator belt and plastic cover to come off.
Hardest bit is getting fan undone

Yours is not in the prime range for the problem.
If you're going to take it apart, you may as well have a new pump and another set of belts anyway. Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC
