A year ago to the day, 25th November 2012!!!!!!! http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/overheating-coolant-loss-issues-206289.html

Progress.. The front core plug has corroded through but what I don't understand is that I had the same problem exactly 1 year ago, replacing the same plug for a new one (ordered from rimmer bros). The engine had been running on coolant since then, surely it shouldn't corrode that quick????

Anyone? I'm about to brave the cold and start stripping it down AGAIN grrr (walks of muttering)..

Thanks, so there's just 1 on the front of the block (not including cylinder head plug) and 2 on passenger side?

I used a metal gasket for the p-bracket with sealant, shall check the thermostat housing but looks to be coming from below that as I couldnt see the leak when looking top down

Is there a core plug behind the timing case? I don't want to strip all the timing gear off again!! :(

Massively pi55ed off!!!!! I seem to be spending every weekend on the disco, every time thinking 'if I sort this that will be it for at least 6months' This weekend it was the swivel oil seals, week before that crank and cam shaft oil seals, week before that the heater matrix. Went out in my...

Thanks, but the problem isn't the outer swivel seal I'm losing gear oil from the diff. Just found that the inner swivel seal was on the wrong way round guessing that was the problem!!

Hi, any speedy advice much appreciated.. I've stripped it all down removed shaft and swivel, there definitely seems to be a leak from the axle not just one shot. The most important seal I need to replace is on the back inside of the swivel? The small one on the inside. I have a seal kit, but...

I've done a couple of changes now, had a right mare the first time! Found that locking the fuel pump with 9.5mm drill bit (9 is too small and can cause timing to be out) and ensuring both cam and crank gears point at the arrows did the trick. Mines a 300 auto and I ignore the bell housing pin...

Good to know thanks :D

Cheers rob, what size?

What's the general consensus on using 30mm hub centric wheel spacers with 15" deep dish steelies wearing 31x12.5 tyres? I understand the potential impact on accelerating wheel/swivel bearing wear (that said I've had no issues in that dept using these tyres for the last 4years!) just want to...

failing that cut the head off with a dremel and get the rest of the bolt off once the engine is out of the way?

Irwin all the way those things have saved me so many times and still seem as sharp as the day I bought them!!!

I think locking by key bypasses the alarm? If so that will explain why it doesn't go off with key

give me a nod when you've had the first lot run off and I'll pm my address :D

lol

Photo's??? :D
