I don’t know ☹️ but if thats that what LR call auxiliary drive belt tensioner securing nut, then its 45Nm.

Thanks for replying discool, that's probably the one as the pulley is a bolt. Thankyou so very much. It's just the squeaky sound is possible from there and I have grey grease coming out. Thankyou for helping.

Could put a cleaner in fuel system like "clean drive" , on quarter of a tank. It gives a higher octane boost to stop the fall at idle. May help to figure out if it's electric or mechanical, like egr or gooey stuff in bottom of intercooler.

Yeah Jack, but you have no fault codes so not usually a failing sensor or other parts. Need to think basic things like earth or buildup in intake or intercooler. Not usually exhaust as sensors would bring up a fault...like dpf. Also because it's...

Need help with serpentine belt adjuster pulley base. Does anyone know the torque for the spring arm that the pulley goes onto. NOT for the pulley but the spring housing that bolts to the engine.

Try the negative earth, as it may affect as brake is on. I have had this on fords and others but not on land rovers. Negative to battery and motor and any other you can find. Keep us informed please.

It's not the suspension or air pump that's chattering. Definitely swap gearbox fluid (whatever is in it now), and check the old fluid for metal and the plug. Probably not much big bits but thick silt metallic paste. If it's bits of metal then...

That's a loose gear. Your probably getting it when it's floating. Floating driving in gear but hot excelerating and not slowing down therefore no load but the weight of the momentum. Probably shows up due to overheating under long duration of...

Testing the voltage of the fuses.

cool thankyou for letting us know.

G'day John, sorry no one else has replied with advice for your gearbox however now you know everything about what to put into it... possibly 😁. I do hope all this helps. Keep us informed please.

Thanks Stanleysteamer, I'm was doubting myself for a bit, but had a rest and some watermelon then checked my gear oil container in my workshop. It says gear oil and gear lubricant doesn't ever say MTF. As we know MTF stands for Manual...

MTF90 GL4 was recommended by Ashcroft, however ATF is also recommended. Biggest thing is ashcroft say never GL5. Hope this helps.

Some say ATF is standard in R380 or gear oil is standard in R380. My R380 from standard is gear oil, just to clarify 😵‍💫 now I'm getting confused 😔

Sorry yes you are correct I was trying to say in manual box like r380 it is a better lubricant to help bad bits or noises. Therefore changing the ATF in his, may help or sometimes changing it several times in-between driving it over a week can...

Just to let you know...my original box I drove for 2 years with 3 gears on ATF the remaining gears worked wonderfully and smooth till I got a new box 😁

OH yes zane2, check oil levels in both boxes, or change oil. Main gearbox you can swap for ATF if you need to. ATF (automatic Transmission Fluid) gets in better if you have crunchy or winey however not recommended if you love the box but will...

I have just had to change my auto box on mine. Now,it did have a leak for quite a while that I had to keep topping up. This was fixed and it was ok for a bit but recently it got very noisy and jerky. Now it is changed I am much more careful when...

Discs are discs, I don't see the point of grooved on a landrover unless you have 3 piston calipers and then what's the point. Let's keep it simple ! Pads have different gradings - soft, medium, hard and other. Soft is usually from manufacturer so...

I have had this when towing for long periods, I was told it's because I'm towing at low revs this wreaks the gear...to much strain. I have also had oil leak for same reason in hot weather. I changed gearbox both times for another used box. Both...

Thankyou so very much for replying

Yeah thankyou. Just hoping someone would say they have greased or oiled the bearings from that and it works. I guess I will try anyway as it can't hurt and I got a new water pump to change it anyway.

Water ...OH MY ! But logical. Thankyou.

G'day louder6pounder, that engine has done you well so far so could find another one to rebuild. I have swapped out before for other ones over the years. I guess in my experience if you think of a 200tdi to swap it with then I would rather put a...

G'day all, my water pump bearing is squeaking but it's fairly new and not loose. I purchased a new one. I see on the new one there is a hole into the inside of the bearing/shaft/housing. What is this hole for. I'm hoping it's there for heat...

Great you found it. Was it just looking from front or did you unscrew and look at back as well for melted plastic.

Alternator is definitely old enough to warrant new.

Have you got the original battery terminal clamps. If it's 12.whatever at idle it may not be alternator fault completely. Try take off all wires at alternator and clean and put back. Clean negative at body...clean all negative.
