Out of interest where were the leaks? I’ve just ordered some so we will see. Thanks for the tip

Ohh that’s an interesting idea I’ll look into it

It occurs to me it is possible it’s in the radiator area? I don’t fully understand the water flow in the engine but sort of assuming that when it’s hot the thermostat opens putting coolant circulation to the rad and when it’s not it doesn’t? So perhaps on long runs it opens the leaks somewhere...

Ohh and yes antifreeze is in the coolant thanks

Ohh that’s dramatic is it as easy to see when assembled? I’ll have to poke around with a torch although I didn’t notice the rust last time I looked I do have the gaskets in the workshop in case they were needed? The garage mechanic also looked there and didn’t think it was the p gasket... Thanks...

Hmm rusty but no stains or drips I’ll keep an eye on it though cheers.... I think I’ll get the system pressure tested next ?? I took it to the garage and they said don’t worry to much but keep an eye on it?

Ohh I don’t think it’s the heater matrix as no water in passenger footwell.... I think it’s leaking and evaporating as the are no drips I can see or visible stains? Perhaps the p gaskets gone but no obvious marks...

Hi I’ve been scratching my head on this one for a while.. Please do help if you can. I have 1995 tdi 300 110 done about 130k miles and it seems to lose coolant at about the rate of 1.25 litres every 500 miles or so... I replaced the header tank with a clear one... replaced pressure cap...

and almost no rust on the bulkhead Hurray!!!!!!!

ohh and lights work normally with fuse 2 removed

the wire I disconnected is a heavier gauge btw than most of the loom. Its the same weight as the wire from the original fuse (NO.2)

Well to be clear the previous owner of the vehicle had put in relays and fancy headlights so unlike my old defender the lights are not driven directly by a live through the switch... Also there were apparently some lights mounted on the front grill now gone..... There are a couple of obsolete...

Ok so I have dismantled the entire dash today and sadly no obvious short. by cutting a couple of wires I have isolated the fault to a purple wire in the loom that goes through the bulkhead.... I have simply no idea where that goes any ideas as I really dont want to strip the loom back the engine...

So to update the lights are back feeding the radio circuit as today I noticed the radio goes on when you turn the lights on with the radio fuse removed! So if the light switch gets a live from the battery then sends lives to the fuses it's likely to be in that area I need to poke about ? I'm...

Ok that's interesting I think ur right the radio is off fuse 2 in my diagram and that would correspond to it not working when the fuse was pulled. Who it does work now, the radio I mean, with no fuse in place I guess some short feeding it? I'm also reading about a dim dip balast thing that can...

Thanks I did take out the fuse panel and it looked ok behind.... if it's a short which it may well be how come the radio and interior lights now work without the relevant fuse in place? Fused header perhaps that's on the wiring diagram but no idea where it is....And if the short effectively...

Oh I'm running a 110 csw 1995 300tdi 1995 I think

Cheers Wx

Ok I even tried taking it to the garage and they gave up! So problem seems to be on circuit from fuse 2 a 20 amp one. That I believe is trailer ...radio and a couple of other things. If the fuse is in the headlights go on and stay on regardless of headlights switch position. If the fuse is out...

Hi I've been reading this forum for years so much helpful stuff on it! Brilliant! Up untill now I have always managed to fix my landrover by reading others posts....... not any more! I'll post something in the right section! Cheers Will
