Thanks guys, will look at an ezibleed tool and see if I can find some perseverance under the spare wheel! Colour of the fluid is honey yellow. Lost a lot of fluid 3 years ago when clutch slave cylinder died and then 18months or so did bleed all the brakes through to replace fluid and then...

Hi Wammers, I have tried to bleed the brakes about 5 times now. First four using different singlehanded tools bodges. But the last time was with a peddle push and key turner following the instructions in RAVE. Am I just not getting enough fluid through? Bleeding the front brakes I used about .25...

Good point, will try that later when I can be under car with a peddle and ignition key operative in the car. Time to take the dog for a walk I guess.

Should also say have checked the fuses and relays, relays all clicked and gave continuity as per diagram on relay. Fuses all continuity checked and with a fuse tester worked but didn't show much current draw, cannot remember which but think one fuse plugged in gave 250mA and the other 330mA but...

Hi Tomcat59alan, Have given that a try and even with the nipple removed and pipes not clamped, only a slight dribble of fluid. Tried turning on ignition and foot on brake peddle and whilst I couldn't be under there at the same time there wasn't any evidence of more fluid coming out. Blockage...

Thanks will give that a try.

Hi, Well having posted about the brakes before I have been trying to get to the bottom of the problem, seems I have tried so many half measures not sure where to start. ABS and brake warning light staying on. have changed the pump and accumulator unit for a known good one and making plenty...

Hi Guys, Not made much progress, as I moved the car from the road on to the drive and I noticed the brake peddle has lots of travel. So rather than start to check the ABS sensors went for the option of changing the ABS power unit as had a spare. Fairly simple to change but still have the ABS...

Thanks, once I have sorted the 'new' brake problem will get back to it!!

Thanks, wammers. Will have a look through RAVE. Also should say had working ABS in the morning but not in the afternoon......

Well a bit disappointed today, have to take the kids to school tomorrow and going to be a distinctly dodgie drive. But looks like I will be taking the citreon ZX........... Ferrying the wife to and from work in the snow today. On the way home found a big empty car park so went in and showed the...

Thanks Saint.V8 hadn't noticed that or at least registered what it was saying! Thanks Wammers, that makes me fell better when someone infinitely more knowledgeable says that. Have changed the oil and afraid I have added some Lucas oil Stabiser. Ran the engine and a short drive and showed about...

Thanks Saint.V8 I have had a look through RAVE but the info has eluded me. Looking through the internet found this: http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f40/installing-oil-pressure-gauge-96922/ which had a comment with this info in: "4. If your engine is cold, no, you don't have to drain...

Hi Guys, Since lossing nearly all the oil from the engine when not fitting an secondhand oil cooler properly I have added a mechanical oil pressure gauge to the engine via the oil pressure switch to see what oil pressure there is in the engine. So. When started up the oil pressure was 30psi ( I...

Just for the records, in case anybody else searches 24mm. Just need to sort out the threads now and make an adaptor male oil pressure switch and female mechanical oil pressure gauge nipple...

Hi all, Following on from the oil cooler muck up and loosing all the oil. Went to remove pill presspre switch and didn't have a big enough deep socket. Thought I would get one on way home tonight. Does any body know and be willing to tell me the size of the socket required? Thank you

Thanks for the replies, will investigate oil pressure, have a mechical gauge in the garage. Can I take out the oil pressure senor out and put in the mechanical gauge. Another engine would be nice but getting one to Jersey and just at the moment under pressure at work. (Was hoping to get car...

Well I posted the other day about a clogged up second hand oil cooler for a p38 diesel. Which I managed to clean, but it has all been a bad job. Went to fit it last night as had some oil on the drive (in trouble, silent type with you know who) in the dark and hail with a torch. Crossed the...

Thanks guys, have given it some more tlc today and seems fairly clear, petrol, washing powder, boiling water and final reverse flushed with hose pipe. A piece of 15mm copper with an olive tightened on a couple of millimetres from the end seated in the oil cooler quite well. Will give it some...

Hi All, Had the opportunity to remove some parts form a seized 2.5 diesel (the oil hadn't been changed for years and engine seized. Since I am keen to take my 95 manual DT on a good trip this year, thought I might do some jobs. One was to change the oil cooler pipes. So noticed the doner pipes...
