Thanks all. Coolant brand new so I'll get that tea strainer out of the kitchen draw!

So I tried fitting a jubilee but still leaking. Thermostat now ordered. I lost a lot of coolant over 5l while replacing the clip. Any pointers on minimising coolant loss when I replace the thermostat??

Good point I'll try that, thanks.

That's great thanks mate & yes checked the Haynes & will follow that & save myself £350 plus 4 choccy digestives!

Better than the non wire extended ones Lynall?

99 Td5 defender 110 There has been a slight leak from top of the thermostat for a while - topping up every couple of weeks depending on use. I had a look and jiggled some pipes and thought you know what I'm going to get my local garage to do this one! Local garage diagnosed new thermostat and...

Thanks for all the tips. I'll grease them up after all the oils leaked out!

Thanks for taking time to take that photo.

Thanks Lynall I'll sleep alright tonight!

Thanks. I don't have the top middle & bottom plugs just square section plug 15/16mm just over halfway up housing. EP90 GL4 gear oil

.... actually I think I'm about to answer my own question in that I shouldn't have put oil in the housing & it should have been grease? ...& There isn't a top filling plug just the one square bolt plug for grease right?

Hi guys I've just topped up the oil in the front swivel pin housings...not sure this has ever been done as each one took over half a litre. Slight issue is I topped up through the bottom level plug & not the top filling plug! Will this be an issue or can I sleep well tonight! Thanks Ben 99'...

Update! Replacing temp gauge sensor cured the hunting & a working temp gauge!

Thanks Brown. Checked yellow fuse but all ok, a little oil around ECU but nothing like there was before I replaced the injector harness. Although I do wonder if the damage was done & the oil haf seeped into the ECU.

Thanks Lynal....I feel a "tips on removing fuel tank thread coming on"!

Thanks Lynall yes I thought that might be the case. I'd need to drop the tank right. Not keen on cutting access slot on a 110 I think that means going through a strut??!!

Thanks Kev. I replaced with a decent harness earlier this year. Hunting was occurring before this but not as bad as now. Harness slightly I'll fit though cable tied at front to pull into situ.

Revving! Hunting! Surging! It's been getting worse over last few months. I'm now taking slow corners at slow high speed! It's usually worse on short journey. High revs at idle & under acceleration, it does dip & surge randomly. Replaced filters & cleaned sensors. Any suggestions greatly...

Thanks to everyone for advice. Yuasa ybx3642 ordered Saturday from Tanya & arrived today fitted this evening. Looking forward to starting up tomorrow morning!
