    The mechanic has changed out the component that's down by the top of the bell housing. Flushed out again and filled with anti-freeze 50% mix again -- charged me 3½ hours. Hmmmm He drove it from Tonbridge back to his place, then I picked it up and took it the 12 miles back to mine. Temperature...

    Internal diameter of the hose part is 2½cm on a new one Police came to see me on the ward asking whether I knew where Clarice was as she hadn't reported for duty in a week. I said: "HOW WOULD I KNOW?" They said: "Well you were the last person she was seen with". I said: "I've not seen her...

    Good idea:rolleyes: As soon as I know the diameter will try and locate. I assume its connected to a solid fitting that can go back after removal of the chalks?

    Mech has found that this hose defunct. Apparently is a common fault according to: https://www.rswsolutions.com/index.php/mkiii-repair-videos/420-range-rover-mkiii-rear-engine-coolant-leak Would want to replace with something that's armoured or at least stronger than OEM if that's what happens...

    The "S/C" version? What is this please? I could see those alright the top and bottom rad connections were dry and without chalk tell-tale. There was a slight moisture at the connect at the bottom of the resovoir, but no evidence that it'd been leeching signifigantly

    Yes, meant ball joints RBK500210 -- However, events have taken a turn for the worse. After two pleasant longer journeys had just been pottering around when one morning went out for my usual fill-up with LPG and on the A102 turn-off to Charlton had to wait in queue to get to LPG station. Could...

    At last, sorry about the double pasting in my previous. Should I get both of the curved arms, and then both of the UJs? Thanks for your patience, I've had another pill now

    Assuming its your post with the pic from ©JGS-4x4, should I get two of the curved items and two of the ball joints then? You're right, I was with the mechanic who went levering about underneath with a pry bar and concluded that the bottom two needed changing. Well, one actually as the other...

    Coz I'm still fighting this board to get them to either upload or accept my file imaging site's URLs. Is this your posting of an advert or interloping spam? Nurse, NURSE... I've had changed the bottom two already. They fit to the stub axle and connect to rearmost arm.

    Never thought to check -- yup, "Outside" is definately written on all four walls' outsides Not entirely sure which component your referencing however here's diagrams that'd help me: Tried directly from PC -- No go. Tried from host imaging site, no go. Now where's that Largactyl?

    It's so-called "experts" that take in, then do what they want as one job (the fan viscous coupling) when asked to do three others (electric thermostat, ECT sensor, and change coolant resovoir cap) but don't. Then respond with: "Oh, but I drove it around all weekend and it was alright!" when...

    So changed the electric thermostat for a 105º version. New mechanic (not versed in Range Rovers, Mercedes time-served) found that there was an 84º on bridge installed but whoever in the past had installed it had creased the gasket across the gasket groove and so the join was weeping. :oops...

    Apparently 50% is the norm. But still dunno whether Dex Cool is the right stuff or not. Don't want to end up with some sludge in the system because remnants of the previous and Dex Cool have interacted. But last mechanic used Dex-Cool... My overheat problems may be down to the electric...

    I've been advised to use Dex Cool as the anti-freeze/inhibitor for this L322 M62 BMW engine. Is this the right stuff? If so, what's the dilution? It doesn't say on the 1L bottle
