Hi all Firstly thanks for this , , unfortunately they will take up to 10 days to get to me, asked about quicker but got told no. rang Wurth who are only 40 miles from me and they don't do a kit as such only individual items and unless i can tell them the thread length of the stud they cannot...

Hi, thanks for reply, From what you say I think i will take out as much as i can with a 1mm slitting disc and then a grinder disc for the rest, any special reason why you took out the stud holes to different size's ??. I'm not having any problems with the manifold at the moment but from what i...

Hi all My 2001 Td5 auto is going in for a new head gasket next week, now my question is as above, should i get the manifold dewebed at the same time, and if so what is the best way to do it ??, and does anybody have any photos or diagrams of how they have done there's, don't want to take of to...

Yes I've heard about this, think i need a new thread to try and get some pictures of how to do it, costing enough for the head job as it is

I'm a pritty boy me, worth at least a groat :p

Well my latest update. Stanleysteamer, the address didn't show up, wonder if the site wont allow for some reason ??, but thanks for trying :). Today the kit recommended by Hellastoney turned up i tried it and yes it changed colour, not a lot but enough to make me sweat, just to make sure i...

Yes, not solid but quite firm, going to look on the tinternet now for a cheep sniff tester, looks more and more like headgasket :eek: but need to be sure before spending shed loads of cash

Hi Well todays update, ran engine up to temp from cold with no cap on, both pipes on heater got hot and heater worked fine, pipes were more squishy than with cap on, only thing happening in header tank was a steady stream of water from the return pipe, no other bubbling at all. Put cap back on...

Well todays update, Got a cap from breaker (from running motor) still blows water from overflow, got new cap from Landrover, still blows water from overflow. The pipes are firm but not rock solid, I can squeeze them with a bit effort, the heater works and seems to be o.k, next thing on my list...

Ah right, good to know. No it hasn't overheated (yet) the temp needle sits on the halfway mark, but I'm sure if i didn't keep a close eye on it it would, one strange thing i have noticed is my old 200Tdi used to get to just below the halfway mark then i assume the thermostat opened and it drop...

I assume you mean after it has been run ???, and if so what does that point to ??

Well chaps a update After a lot of time crawling over it and under it after dark with a u.v torch nothing was found, so today i tried this "Secure a bottle over the short overflow pipe on the resevoir and see if it catches the water. If so I think you'll find you need a new pressure cap and it...

"Don't know if I have ever heard of this magic colouring stuff that can even show if coolant is coming out of the exhaust, but i am prepared, as always, to learn something new." Hi thanks for reply and link. Both wurth and ring sell the uv dye, i find the wurth one is best and normally run it...

Ah I think i understand now, so the cap can stop sealing down the thread (where the overflow pipe is) and constantly let steam out, so if the cap is not sealed no build up of pressure, therefor no steam. Tomorrow i will try this and also follow the pipes neilly has suggested. Thank you all for...

Hi, can you tell me what your thinking is behind this and wont the water just slosh out ??, thanks Bill

Yes, no visible sign of cracking or any dye tracks

To be honest i wish i could have kept my 200Tdi, the chassis was still solid but the body was to far gone, and now my mate has given up his welding shop it would have cost me more than my Td5 has. Although i did keep the clock, fuel filler cap and steering wheel badge to put in the new one so in...

Hi My recently purchased Td5 is loosing a large amount of coolant, a 10 mile journey will account for about 1 litre, so at the moment i am down to very short journeys. If i drive very carefully so the temp gauge hardly moves no water is lost so i wonder if it only happens once the thermostat...

Hello all I have been reading this forum for a while and decided to take the plunge ,here is a bit about myself. Had my first Landrover about 20 plus years ago, a 1972 swb s3, then after the gearbox and rear axle exploded dramatically i bought a 1992 Disco 200tdi in 06 and was overwhelmed by all...
