if it was me ... id ask her for 100 quid cash and call it quits for the reasons above.

im going to contin this weekend for the strathpuffer.... gonna be a fair drive in the 90 :S

i just need to open my eyes :D im going mad what with checking drawings my matrix foo is fading for the day.

haha , your right :D oops

"I am currently rebuilding a 110 with a discovery 200 in it. As far as I'm aware, you can't not have PAS, because of the route the aux belt takes but Im prepared to be corrected." They can quite easily. i work on one that has it quite regular.

the stat was tested before it went in in the pot of water with the IR thermometer of course the extra heat yesterday may have killed it.

i was stress testing it to be fair ...... its a long hill. Even my van gets warm up it ....the old set up never moved - should i also mention i dont have a fan on there.......

took it to work today .;.. warmed up nicely within the normal time range. I do notice that the temp gauge behaviors more like my 19j the propper coolant mix has made the temp gauge more responsive. Ie under load at max boost up a prolonged hill in 4th the temp gauge goes from its normal...

No it was exiting as steam. Its all filled and holding well now.

which engine was it originally ? are the engine and stat matched ? borrow a ir thermometor and measure the temperature of the hoses ? have you seen the waterpump out of the engine ? highly doubt you have broken that its a big lump of steel to break. Maybe a blockage or airlock somewhere...

ive had the landy out in -28 before in drumtochtry glen - with the 19j in it. .... last night was a fairly benign night of maybe -10 or a little more....... Im sure there will be nothing a bit of graft cant sort but it would be nice if it was just a warning shot across the bows..... dont be a...

mine wasnt squeeling at all .... fingers crossed haha. i have sourced a few litres of -36 protection stuff to shove in tonight.

well we will find out in the near future i imagine :D

i renewed mine when i rebuilt it ....following the instructions...... i dont recall having topped it off when checking but cannot be certain. going to ensure its in the "extreme range" from now on.....

thinking more about it - surely the motor would have turned over slow or not started at Possible the radiator and heater matrix froze but the block and pipes aint and thats why the the shortened system "over heated" to steam antifreeze and tester being bought at lunch

So first cold snap since the rebuild (the bottles of minus 10 rated screenwash in the rear tub were frozen) and apparently so was my coolant - COCK - there was anti freeze in i know that but obviously the wrong mix. First sign - my heater never got warm despite the temperature gauge saying -...

You dont undo your wheel nuts with a torque wrench do you ? I have a 4ft breaker bar for my wheel nuts

my headlining isnt mouldy.... but then it is in the garage* * the headlining that is ... not the landy..... Im a firm believer of "its going to get in - let it out "

Spot rivet drill bit of heat to remove the glue pry it up. They can be quite stuborn. Hardest bit stripping it down enough to get at it in a CSW ! (and then getting it all to line up on reassembly)

Cheap Delphi pump off ebay ? I learnt the hard way they are fakes or rebadged crap. Absolutely not delphi- thats why they are half the price. Same symptoms as you.
