discy the disco

New Member
new to the site, but by no means new to landy`s, ( previous series 111 owner ),

i`ve had a disco 1 1995 for about 6 months now, and i just noticed when i got home at 5am this morning, that the radiator was stone cold ( it was about minus -5 at the time ), that was after a 10 mile drive home....

airlock ?...expansion tank is still half full..

any ideas would be appreciated .

they do run nice and cold the 300tdis take it out for a longer run and let us know the outcome, oh and welcome
 
My 300tDi was cold too. The needle sat just above "C" and the heater was more luke-warm than hot. I changed the thermostat (ebay 250810807939) - an easy job - and she's sat just below 1/2 way ever since. Does take a while to warm up though (about 3 to 5 miles) but even on a freezing cold day the heater works well.

All I need to do now is plug the air gaps around the doors and i'll not need my thermal underwear to p[op to the shops ..... :)
 
well, given the current temprature ( minus 6 at the time of original posting) plus the fact that i needed discy up and running, i put it in the garage for a quick fix, and yep, simple airlock, so all is well with the world once again :D

and many thanks for the welcome landy tribe :)
