Cheers for that Brown.. will try and locate / check that first. Where would i find it ? CalumM.. just be sure to leave it as far over from opening door as poss without blocking lights. I thought i had until i put the rubber stay on the jack that holds the lever to the body.. then i found it...

I had a couple of spots on the front bumper previously, until 1 got cracked somehow. Was going to move number plate also and get more air to rad as temp rises a bit when towing horses in trailer. Everyone i spoke to has stated i need to get more air through and the spots on bumper as well as...

Thats what i'm not sure about trax. The vehicles going army green, chequer plate black and front pod black also. won't be as bad as now i hope.

But not sure about it all really. Been sorting the garage and had all these bits sat in there since landy before this one, so rather than keep shunting it about ive decided to chuck them on and set too with fixing up the old girl a bit this summer.. paint included. Problem is i'm indecisive...

i might have to bring my young lad with me, but will come down even if only for a short visit. Will be good to meet a few of you. Thanks.

I might even be able to say a hello to all at this one if it's an open invite. About time i had a catch up.

Can someone please suggest a brand / make of correct coolant to use for this system, and the correct mix if it's to be mixed. Now have a new rad, new thermostat and new diesel cooler, so am going to crack on with it all in next few days starting with as good an flush through as i can. Thanks...

Thanks guys.. looks like i have a plan now. Was thinking i would blast a power washer through the hoses lol. Then again, not even sure if there's mains water in the yard !! Much appreciated.

The old rads already off and all pipes are just hanging and covered in this stuff. Probably just going to put a new rad in so would be best to re connect old rad and flush first, do you think that would be best way? Would have to connect up the other cooler that sits in front also i guess, i...

he's only had the head done about 2mths ago. He's been wary enough to pull over when he's seen its getting too hot so as not to do any damage again, so pretty sure that's going to be ok. He's had a new water pump done also, but still has this crap in system, so clearly the guy that did it didn't...

Thanks mate, that's very useful to know. The viscous fan is still in and working fine. The electric fan is just an additive as he'd borrowed my 90 which has one and thought it was a great idea to switch on for added help when towing. This was a vehicle purchased at auction, so he's not done...

Hi Guys. My mates been having a problem with constant overheating and has had the head done already, had a few other things done including fitting another fan on a switch etc etc. Despite all of this, the darned thing persists, and as its used regularly to tow horse trailers, it really is a...

it's tipping down with rain here so not got out there to consider the starter motor as don't want to get wet lol. she's started up just fine again though, and does seem to be throwing better, so fingers crossed i'm ok. What next to sort !! there's always something

Thanks James. Looking at the starter, i'm not sure if i will get leads on it whilst on vehicle, so ik take it i would have to do this off !! is that correct?? that aside, how are you mate. All well i hope.

Thanks Sam. If my problem persists after all this, i will have the starter out next. I'm fitting carpets for a man who sells and re cons starters and alternators, in the morning. Will have a chat with him, although the starter is less than a year old, it's another good place to start failing...

She's already home. Done the earth straps today and now looking to glow plugs as part of a service. Will do oils etc aswell. Just get her sorted ready for winter.

Thanks for the suggestion sam. I've been out and looked at all the connections and can't find anything loose etc , so far. Thinking about earthing being the issue, i found that there was a main earth from battery directly to chassis, and a separate earth from the starter motor to the gear box...

Thanks Kurt. Will bare that in mind for sure

Cheers martyn

Thanks guys. All things def leading towards a bad earth connection somewhere, so will be out looking today. Sorry it took a while to reply, been a bit hectic here lol. Will update when i get to bottom of it so you know what it ended up being. Might help someone else also.
