100% agree with v8volvo and Ngoma on this. As I understand from the owners forums you have been looking for a D24T for some time and now you have one it seems you're not overly impressed. The real questions to ask yourself is what were you expecting? And do you want to keep it?
I have to admit I'm not a mechanic by trade, this is a hobby for me and I'm assuming it is for you too. The D24 is a great engine when maintained correctly and the performance potential is there at a fraction of the price of modern diesels due to its simplicity.
I hope you choose to stick at it, the guys on here currently and in the past have shown passion and enthusiasm for something that most have forgotten and that is another reason I like this engine so much, the community is small but it's still there.
Hope you have happy spannering in the future
