Just ran it again until it started going in to the red. Coolant still gushing, heaters on full blast max temp. Noticed that radiator feels cold all over - no hotspots on the top or bottom (from the limited places I could feel it anyway)

Hi all ive a D5 3.0 ltr diesel and iam going to have the 2 belts changed as well as the tensioners how much should i be looking at .

Be aware that if you bought complete pipes untill the block you need new seals(RVW100010) and plastic collars(ANR6700) under the bracket, some sellers say they are for air suspension which is wrong, the old ones are not reusable

Afternoon, I've had another go at filling the coolant. I drained as much as I could from the radiator, and made sure the bleed hose was clear. Filled up until it was at the neck level, then started the engine. Filled up a little more after a...

thank you all so much for the advice, the landy is a 1990 90, not a Defender but looks like one.

Yeahh it is the yellow stuff i recall doing rooms with that in rentals in my uni time when trying to get nicotine stains off the wall.

True - but I might hit more if I tried that way

Update time. No new components were fitted when they tried the original repair, they broke it so wanted to fix it with minimal cost to themselves. Regarding the extra cables........ I have checked, it does actually seem that all P38s (certainly...

But you can’t throw them as far 🤪

Assuming it is a 90 you have. These are good quality springs: https://www.flatdoguk.com/search.asp?types=FD+SPRINGS You can get standard height or +2" in the standard spring rate. I wouldn't go for HD ones. The +2" will give about 1" of lift...

These boxes are heavier

I shall dig through the shed and awaken the neighbourhood :)

Terrafirma shocks don't have the best of reputations however I do have some on the front of my 1994 D90 and they've been ok. The rear ones didn't last long and snapped off where they attach to the axle. To be fair i'd left the 'cups' on and I...

Hi, vehicle is going to be used for general road use, cant see us going seriously off roading in it in it

I have used sugar soap to soften paint in the past. Not sure if it's available anymore.

tbh Terrafirma shocks generally haven't been all that great, you may want to check them when you remove them and may well end up making a mess of the fronts ones in order to remove them. What do you use your vehicle for? There is a lot of...

Not a lovely job to do, it can be a bit frustrating, but not complicated 👍

Tedious job, hopefully end result is good.

Yes, it’s actually quite a heavy box

Hi yes from engine breather (by the rocker cover on the left side of the engine) to Air filter housing

Thanks for your reply, that's a good news

Stick them in a little vase and place them on yer dashboard top. Will go well with yer upholstery :p

No we dont, same as when we go to Spain to you go & visit Felipe or do you go to the beach wi yer blow up crocodile n sun tan lotion.

Thanks for you advice, this is a landy my wife bought as a "project" the plan is front and rear axle removal and refurb, all bushes, bearings, seals and ball joints to be changed, will change the brake lines too.

Cant be as we can still buy the sticky pads & glue for rodents. Got a link to say its Illegal.

TD4 is 6.8 Litres with filter.

Nothing, as currently it will not start... Posted another thread about that, as don't think its entirely related (but could be). I've invested in a Nanocom and had some old codes for EGR closed and other things, but cleared and no new codes...

Hello everyone, something new every day. I have too much leeway here - is it complicated to change the buffer? I haven't found it here...

MOT history says all is mostly well. Know nothing of engine failure details but have a spare !! Would be rare for a TD4 to destruct unless turbo has caused run away. Paid about the price of tyres on it so worth a shot.
