Just a quick one is anyone able to confirm the voltage that should be put out from the stabiliser down the sender wire ?

It has a plate in the middle of the rad header to force the water through the core you can see it from the bleed bung when it's removed as it was one of my thoughts too

I will look at that thank you:)

It's top and bottom both on the same side , and oil cooler pipes on the other

I mean the baffle in the rad itself that separates top to bottom,

Yer it's a brand new thermostat, and rad is brand new , and a brand new temp sensor

It was an alloy one off of eBay, just listed as 300tdi discovery, fitment was the same and has a baffle plate between the top and bottom so can't figure it out

The saga still continues, I have checked wiring had dash out checked the rubbish ribbon on the back of the dash and voltage stabiliser Seems to work as it should , I have replaced the temp sensor , thermostat and even the rad as that looked gunky , been for a drive and still goes over the 3/4s...

Voltage stabiliser ?

Checked the sensor and is the green top one that is 300 and V8 according to the part number that discool gave me that's where the guage seems to fluctuate and stay around where it is under normal driving

Yes was originally a V8 it's an 85 exposed hinge one , but is well butchered before I got my hands on it

I will have a look at the temp sender see what it is stat is new and 88 degrees can't remember what the part number was but have got all the relevant warnings etc to work

There you go good sir 😁

I think for the sake of few quid certainly worth doing then even once I've figured it out I will always have a backup reading

Yes po had done it everything that had been done was horrendous I basically had to rewire everything as it was all very temperamental or lucky if it worked at all, but before I put a stat in it would read about 1/4 or to a half up a long hill but the heating was only ever just warm which leads...

I'm not even sure if it's the right dash or not it's been messed about with a lot it's an 85 so think it should have the early dash in, and it originally didn't have a thermostat in have since put one I haven't taken it on a long journey as didn't want to cook it but sits about 3/4 most of the...

can anyone here identify these clocks just from looking I have a constant high temp reading, originally its a early V8 so wrong style of clocks to start with and it's been converted to a 300tdi and as far as I can gather this dash wasn't used for a 300 either , trying to figure out if it's a...

Have you put any fuses in empty spaces down under the drivers seat? There is one that you put in for towing which will give you that message

Take the lid off and give it a sniff to see if it smells burnt , diesels also have 3 different part numbers for the fuse box and they are different and dont interchange, I do have a brand new one depending on what one yours is

I had a 2001 done very much the same, crank no start ended up being the fuse box at fault no error messages on dash whatsoever as immobilizer and becm thought it was working
