Thanks a lot for the help:). Clive.

Hi and thanks for the reply, So does that mean it drains back into the sump then, Cos i was worried that if it was held there with a thermastat only opening when hot, I may have to bleed or top up. Thanks Clive.

Hi Chaps,:) Done a search but cant find what im after. I have a 94 disco 300tdi and may rad is roten, Ive bought a new one and new oil cooler pipes, My problem is the oil cooler on side of rad is this always full of oil or does it drain back to the sump?, If it is full of oil do i top up and...

Hi Dons, Try emailing BEARMACH they should know as they sell them. Clive.

Cheers James, Also may need crankshaft re grinding because has slight scoring on jurnals, but dont know how much you can get away with. Clive.

Hi all, Well ive sripped it down further and found STD but very worn pistons, and worn and scored big end bearings, So knocking crankshaft and slapping pistons = transit van, Just got to decide now weather to rebuild it myself or get a recon lump, But as they prob dont use OEM parts what would...

Hi Chaps and thanks for the replies, No piston impact and no strange wear paterns, But as the sliders were in the wrong way round has everything else just been put back in and not kept in there relative positions, Any way my plan is to fit new shell bearings, new oil pump, new tappet rollers...

That helps a lot cheers Big lad. Clive.

Cheers Big lad that sounds more like it. Thanks Clive.

Thank you James.

Thanks James, So i can just use reference points at the front, And forget about the flywheel. Clive.:D

Hi and thanks for the reply, But on manuals you use 2 reference points on the casting and the pin in the pump and also the locking pin in fly wheel, but on autos theres no wading plug hole in bottom of box. So would very much apreciate any more help.:D Thanks Clive.

Or do i just use woodruf key, web on casting, and pump locking pin, as the reference points,????:confused: Thanks Clive.

I still think its worth checking again as it costs nothing, And as you say it runs perfect after 60 or so seconds could be glow plugs or wiring. Clive.:)

Hi, Buy another D1 for £1500 and put £2000 in the bank, cos you will regret buying a D2 V8, But thats just my 2 peneth. Clive.;)
