I always run with 'torque' Android app running.
Yes the idiot gauge always sits at 12 o'clock, but the app gives actual temp measured at the sensor.
Normally it's at 91-92 while driving, going up slightly going up a hill etc but today is running at 93 and quickly rising to 94-95 when i slow down

For the diesel, 95C is the optimum running temperature, as I have no viscous fans on mine they run at 95/98C most of the time, it's safe to go to 105C

Today, after job interview for promotion, cleaned the heatshields ready to go back on once painted. At weekend, tarted the bulkhead paint and prepped the block for getting the heads back on. But rain has definitely stopped play for the last couple of days. Manchester average October rainfall 93mm. We've recorded 38mm between Thursday evening and this morning alone.

Well it's pi$$ed down most of the day here and just started heavy now. After me saying we'd missed the bad weather.:eek:;)
 
The van I got for work has an oil temp reading on display. Can go from 78-102 (diesel) but the gauge, clearly marked in 5 degree increments, always sits at 12 o’clock.

After the vehicle is running and just stopped, the fluid in the pipe system is still held under pressure from the pump and accumulator for a while. After some time the valve block might leak back some of the fluid back into the chamber, if a NR valve is not sealing fully, which makes the level rise. Not really an issue as the fluid gets drawn back into the system the next time it fires up and the level goes back down.="kermit_rr, post: 5263698, member: 150759"]Struggled a bit with the fluid level, thought it was on the money, put the lid on and few mins later it was over flowing :eek: seems ok now i think

From what I remember there is some sort of pressure sensitive valve under the reservoir


Why wait to spend money on another G clamp, you could have that in tonight just gently tap it in with an nammer....

This is why :oops::oops:

The GNK tapped in ok but the HD BP one (I couldn’t resist @ £8.50) doesn’t have the quality collars that hold the bearings in

When do you find out if you got promotion?

Use more grease to hold them in but take the nipple out so any excess is squeezed out then replace when assembled.;)

Is that what really happened to him? :eek:

Don't know what happened to my reply to your UJ post but plenty of grease to hold the rollers and take the nipple out so that the excess grease can escape while you press them in a vice and appropriate size socket does it for me.;):D just seen it tagged on the end of your post.:oops:
 
Little jobs are adding up. Still don’t own a vice or even a g clamp now :eek: I even keep all the tools I haven’t butchered yet and the breakdown kit in the boot ready for a catastrophe :oops:
It took me a while to work out I could avoid the rain just bring it indoors and chop it up in here. Ruins the wallpaper though and the dog were not too happy about it either
