in this day an age theres only one reason for a blurry pic :(

I removed the thermostat and ran the vehicle Rad is now warm all over I left the coolant cap slightly loose.. no overheating and rad hoses are not hard.. Drove 30 minutes No over heating sniff test done and confirms gas leak…😡😡..

Ok rad on top is roasting The rest of the rad is cold Hose on battery side is lukewarm Hose on other side is extremely got

Yes, the rad appears to be a recent installation…while vehicle was running and idling the top was very hot, actually right hose was roasting..I crawled under and across the bottom was not as hot..

Do the Nissens fan have the baffle…as top of rad was very hot and bottom was not ???

I wouldn't worry about the sniff test unless it's caused a gasket failure 🤔

No, I add thermostatic control, easy and simple to do. If you want details of my electric cooling mod, PM me with an email address.

sounds like its failed/failing

Definitely not a roar on start up, actually come to think of it, it was roaring on startup….but now not…start vehicle and the fan is operating very quietly all the time.. I’ll do the newspaper test and get sniff test..

So remove it and leave the 2 in front on??

It should roar like a tank on start up then go quiet then roar again when it gets hot. just because its turning does not mean its working right.

Newspaper test - roll up a newspaper and slowly insert into the viscous fan. When cold it should stop the fan turning but as engine warms it should get more resistance and try to shred the newspaper. (Free when cold - locked when hot) Careful to...

It does not roar

When I had the fan off, it was stiff when I rotated it…

Fan sounds great, bloody engine sounds great to after water pump and all service items😩

Yes there's a sniff test liquid you can get but make sure you get the diesel one. You can get universal ones that work on petrol and diesel but I'm not sure how good they are

Back again… Acquired a 99 2.5 diesel auto. New service, brakes, in tank pump and running great.. Drove it 4 days no issues. Other day she got hot and cut out.. I let her cool and made it home. Radiator is was replaced before I got it..a Nissans...

Wow. Completely uncalled for. You got some kind of mental issue or something?

IT'S FIXED ... I decided to use a bit of common sense, i.e. I know the pump was broken, so how could it be anything else, also I was pretty sure I had got to all of the bits. So I just had another go. Header cap off, I pumped the right hand...

Well I decided not to wait, especially as I had to change the head some time ago, I wanted to know the cause of my overheating now. THis is what a knackered waterpump looks like !! Phew ! :rolleyes:

A great man once said “fitting a tuning box to an already unhealthy engine is as useful as tits on a mars bar”. He said that to me. And he was right. As usual If you wanna go down that route look up p38 PSI or Synergy box but unless your...

Just did oil, fuel, air, pollen filters, glow plugs, in tank pump, brakes, steering damper, ball joints, track rod ends, drag link.. Heard a Ron box can free up some power in the Bimmer oil burner.

Yes

Can anyone tell me where to purchase a Ron Box. 2.5 Diesel M51 Thank you.

No. Panels under steering wheel and glove box, plus side panels to transmission tunnel. Easier on RHD than LHD

Update, was testing the 2 rel Is it a dash out ..to access blend motor

00, P38, M51, 2.5 Oil Burner. Hello again, Back for more assistance. Ok, solved the non-long start issue…in tank pump replacement and she fires instantly. Next to tackle wayward steering….I replaced a track rod end and will need tracking...
