No leaks Didn’t take the sump off, will do the seal when I do the sump swap

Sorry should have said, did that as well, Think I’ll take it for a drive tomorrow and check the level again

With a pressure sprayer modified, used it a few times for the same thing, fill it cold then start the car wait until the oil reaches 40 degrees and while it’s running top it up again

Bit of a strange one today, Did a gearbox sump dump on the rangie, Figured I’d do 2 or 3 over the next month or so and then change the filter, I did it this way on my SC and by the time I did the filter the oil was coming out like new, Oil came out fairly clean but I’m still going to do the...

Just wondered if anyone knows how to access the hidden manu on a facelift digi dash L322, could find anything on google, came yo with mainly the previous shape or sports

Is it easy to get to the glow plug then?

Oh ok cheers for some reason I had it in my mind that the location had changed. I got it on the diagnostic and it shows a glow plug code so that’s my next step

So the next thing I’ve found not to work on the new toy is the fuel burning heater, the blower starts up on the remote or the timer but goes off after a few seconds, I’m guessing it’s because it senses no heat or no ignition from the heater, Anyone know if it’s the same as the earlier 322...

It is indeed a 2009 3.6 litre

I’ll check the oil I have, I know I did a lot of research when I bought the oil to make sure I got the right stuff so presumably it’s ZF lifeguard 6

I did the flush on my SC, made the world of difference, interesting about the new bolts, I’ll take a look at the weekend, glad it’s likely to be the same fluid, I bought 20litres of it and only used 12

Oh ok that’s useful info, I’ll dig a little deeper just to be sure but sounds like I’ll just need the filter then.

Good point well made,

The seller told me it was just services and to be honest I believe him, it had the turbos replaced at the same time, the oil hasn’t got to the deep black that diesel oil gets to very quickly, the anti freeze looks brand new as does the brake fluid, I will at the weekend look at the oil filter...

Yeah that was my thinking, I know it’s not the gearbox made of cheese like the td6 but prevention has got to be worth considering

So I’ve got this “new to me” TDV8, It’s got a full history stamped by main dealer and a recent service by a specialist, Would you change the gearbox oil to be on the safe side? And if so what oil? I’ve still got 12 litres from when I briefly had the supercharged, would that oil be sufficient...

Ok so I finally did what I should of done a year or more ago and got rid of the TD6 and bought a TDV8, What a difference, like chalk and. Cheese, I absolutely love it, so much more refined and quiet than the old smoker. It’s just turned 100,000 miles and is in really good condition, barely a...

Depressing but very correct, It’s a lifestyle that’s for sure,

Hi guys, I’m looking at buying a 2010 TDV8, are there any hazards to look out for? I know many of the pitfalls of the td6 but nothing of the later cars, Not to worried about the little stuff but how are the engine and gearbox for reliability and failure? I’ve heard turbos can be weak but how do...

I’m no expert by any stretch so it could be, although the noise I have is nothing like what I’ve heard chain noise sound like.
