for someone from warmer climes what's a render ?

Inorganic Acid Technology (IAT), - IAT is mainly used in older vehicles, is usually bright green, and has to be replaced every 30,000 miles. Organic Acid Technology (OAT), = OAT antifreeze/coolant is usually orange, yellow, red, or purple, and lasts much longer — 150,000 miles — but doesn’t...

If you have edc then its on number 4 fuel injector - so some sort of wire must be attached to the injector and might be worth a try and unplug it to see what happens in africa we didn't get many or any of the edc 300 tdi's so am taking a guess here

This is what us saffa's do to fix the roof lining once and forever Link to a thread https://www.4x4community.co.za/forum/showthread.php/363089-Disco-1-Roof-lining-Durabak The black contrast's very nicely with the beige roof fittings

the threads on those oil cooler pipes is a fine thread - easy to cross thread and then bugger them up completely when you apply the spanner to it then the top oil cooler hose can be a bastard to get the thread to start and that for me was a hit and miss affair

yes they do i had to use the rrc rim and tyre as it was my second spare wheel that I carried on a trip after 2 punctures

i had one on and perfect fit they are a lot heavier than the standard rim and will "pull " the d1 in that direction if you only have 1 on as I did we call them rrc rims

wright let's get some facts on the dance floor here firstly a rrs is a D3 with lipstick - a quote involving a pig in palastine comes to mind a rr is by default referred to as a fatty a diesel fatty is made for people from liverpool - even your indian prime minister doesn't want a rail link to...

the clutch forks are known to get a hole in them - hence my bent on purpose chirp

maybe the bent clutch fork was bent to stop the gears from grating i.e the clutch isnt now fully disengaging ? or you have air in the system and thats an easy one to solve

If its the double core allisport it will be the best thing you will ever do to the 300 tdi - well besides getting boost at 1.2 bar The pipes in and out of the intercooler don't have that same "bulge" on the ends so the pipes have a tendency to not seal as well - evident by an oil smudge - get...

Must admit - Africa has it's positive side and coating roads in salt is on that list as rust - besides top rear quarter glass - is a non event here on D1's

So that heater bypass might be a key - they are a known weak point and leak If it is indeed the heater leaking i am surprised you didn't pick up the smell of anti freeze in the cabin and the drivers side carpet should be wet on the left top If the heater matrix leaks it allows pressure to...

I have seen our brit in canada using an all metal head gasket and he likes them = a lot

The heater not working is possibly a clue Are the pipes coming and going to the head and firewall very hot to touch - cause they should be Is top radiator hose getting very hot - cause it should be

a cheap thing to do is a new expansion tank cap

actually i lied the pipe was fitted to the "ecu' that provided the signal to the egr valve to open or close

When I still had my egr valve fitted on the D1 300 tdi that rubber thing used to have a pipe connected to the egr It now goes into a 1 L coke bottle as it leaks about 500 ml per 1000 km So I suspect it was designed to allow the small amount of diesel that would normally leak into the chamber...

Then the rope that's connected to the wipers is that so you can tow yourself uphill ?

this is the chasm of a gap/difference between RR drivers and in my case a D1 i offer thanks and a prayer when my windscreen wipers work
