best sealent to use for this is loctite auto black part no.2311049

egr problems ! and turbo problems and a lot of the bushes go ! but apart from that a smooth beast !

hi, if you need anything for the engine or gear box/transfer box and diffs or the rebuild just mail me !

hi, is the oil coming from the front or the back of the engine ?

p38 range rover engines with hydraulic lifters should be run on 10w40 or 15w40 mineral oil and should be changed every 3000 miles. the design of the engine does not lend itself to needing synthetic oils just regular oil and filter changes.

Hi, All td5 engine cylinder head dowels are superseded to the metal type now so there is no problem using them on 10p or 15p engine. The rings that you have in your cylinder head sealing face are caused by the head bolts loosing there clamping load over time and allowing the multi layer...

bets thing to do is pre fill the fuel filter and fit it, fire the engine up and hold the revs at 2000 and it should bleed itself !

its only worth using genuine Ellring head gaskets !

metal filings in the filter are as serious as it gets, engine needs to be removed and stripped to ascertain the problem as a early fix could save the cylinder bores from damage as they are Aluseal and are very expensive, if you need any advice drop me a line !

fit a genuine thermostat.

shouldn't need heater plugs on tdi but it will be a bit uneven when frosty, don't wait 20 seconds, as soon as light goes out fire it up !

the problem with the k series engine is if you get it very hot it can chatter the liners into the bottom of the cylinder block so they sit low and will not seal even with a new head gasket and skimmed cylinder head, who ever is doing the work must measure these liner heights or there will be...

best thing to do is put a oil pressure test gauge on it and see what it reads, if it is low oil pressure a new oil pump front cover is in order !

Hi, its probably not an injector, does the engine breath when you remove the oil filler cap ? and if so is it a puff or a steady flow ?

its a total waste of time to the customer and the business to use poor quality parts, this is why i only use or supply oe high quality parts as you don't get paid for the second attempt !

you would have been faster buying them off me !! lol

exhaust valves are actually made up of a different metallurgical compound to cope with the turbo and higher exhaust gas temperatures, you would be better off fitting a 200 tdi !!

it could be viscous unit, or faulty header tank cap, i have seen this before !

sort out the o rings first, and then pressure test again, look at back of cylinder heads to check that you have not got any coolant leaking out of the head gaskets and running down the back of the block when it is parked up cold !

better off taking it out so you can thoroughly clean any debris out of the engine any way.
