dont I know it. A faulty thermostat cost me a viscous fan, a water pump and datatek's fan bypass. ( Its Awsome) just to find out Ebay's thermostat was crap. but after enough lost skin and swearing, my brain worked it out.

flea bay.

as far as AC is concerned I need to find the correct belt tensioner as it doesn't exist. hence why I'm leaving that until the end....... Although my wife now wants the Wee Beastie as her day to day i may have to buy another. cant put my finger on it( generally because I might lose it) but it's...

thank you.

as I got my "wee beastie" with 155,000 on the clock. I'm sure I've not sorted all issues yet. I think the front rad (air con?) is blocked and stopping full air flow. add to that that whilst wiring your mod I spotted that I need to put a new gearbox oil rad on so whole cooling system needs some...

hi all I've looked back but cant find answers. I'm sure it's an easy answer but I've asked suppliers and also no guarantees. so here goes. is the air suspension bags the same on 2.5 p38 diesel as it is on petrol. most companies say it fits all petrol or all v8 but none say diesel. and as I dont...

and now Saturday night drinks. thanks all.

thank you datatek. email recieved will try and get on it this week.

when I got the wee beastie about a month ago it wasnt boosting, it had a minor water leak and the viscous fan ran permanently. knowing I had to replace fan and not sure where the leak was coming from, I found it cheaper to replace both water pump and thermostat than mess about chasing a leak...

thank you. its amazing how blind I can be.

Hi all, I've tried searching through old posts and have found lots of chat but no one explains the mod. I see datatek is still here but cant work out how to pm him. Any way does anyone know how to get this mod up and running. just installed new thermostat , waterpump and viscous fan. fan started...

Hi all, I've always stuck with shogun and pajero until May this year. After my best buddy drove me to Scotland and back in his p38 I thought I'd try one out as spare parts are so much easier to find. (even if I need to work on it so much) anyway I bought a w reg 2.5 diesel 150,000 on the clock...
