I had the crankshaft bolt on my NL fail on the drive home from a trip to central NSW. That was fixed but it appears the CAS was damaged which wasn't picked up by the local mechanics. Short story, couldn't be fixed quickly so now on a truck to get it home to my mechanic.
If there is anyone there able to look at the attached photos and give a metallurgical explanation/opinion as to what has occurred I would be grateful.
As an aside, we were covered by RACV's Total Care package and their assistance was top order. Several nights accommodation, taxi ($200) from the NSW country town to the nearest hire car depot and the rental car from there back to home. Plus flat top tow truck recovery of the vehicle and trailer back to Melbourne. VERY glad we'd taken it out some time ago, well worth the money and highly recommended
