What year is it and does the thin pipe that goes to the expansion tank go down beneath the battery box or around the side of the battery following the wing. Mine had the pipe that dropped below the battery tray and was an ass to bleed. I replaced...

i have a diesel but it's about the same thing, once the pulley was removed i blocked the flange with a plumber's pipe wrench (don't use chinese stuff) blocking it against the frame and using a pipe as an extension. some people do it by blocking...

If can possibly have a bar made like the guy in the video did that holds the two bolts and allows you crack the center bolt off it can be used in reverse to tighten it. 🤔

Either à torque wrench or a nice big long bar! The center bolt also puts tension on the oil pump behind the pulley so it's got to be or you can trunk the risk of the oil pump not doing it's job😬 I didn't realize it's a petrol... Even still, tight...

Maybe not a good idea, don't forget they put it there for a reason.. Although your choice 🤔

Sounds like the new viscous clutch is either the wrong part or is defective, normally the clutch comes as part of the fan. See if a tightly rolled newspaper thrust into the fan blades when the engine is hot stops the fan. You could always do my...

Approved! 🙌

I once worked with a pair of spanners:rolleyes::rolleyes:;)

Either way, a softener does not eliminate calcium carbonate and other minerals from the water so it's not suitable for topping up the RAD.

Tiss good for washing large black vans like mine :vb-biggrin: no more water marks:vb-tup:

A lesson in over tightening. Now I have one less bolt holding down the drivers side rocker cover. Rest is reassembled, with only two bolts left over, not as bad as I was expecting! Turned over and started fairly easily, but I didn't run it for...

Ditto

I've had some of their spanners for over 25yr now 👍

So, I finished today. Sealed everything. I hope the water stops coming in. I didn't use foam - I used aluminum. I painted it black beforehand. Thanks for the great support here! Will report back.

It's a possibility. 🤔 And you've got to rule that out before throwing bits at it👍

pin 32 on connector 4 of the ecu also see https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/obd-ii-data-port.183749/post-1904526 to expand, pin 7 and 15 are labelled as EMS/ Engine ecu; Light Green/Red - Main diagnostic line to BECM, HEVAC, ABS ECU, Engine...

Just my luck!!

Will these connect to the engine ecu? I'm thinking there's a broken wire somewhere 🤔

@Graculus hasnt been on since January 😔

Hmm, so we could do with finding out which pin on the obd plug connects to to the engine ecu🤔 a more specific diag is definitely needed. Even with a specific diag it's not going to give a result if it can't talk to the ecu🤯

Logically, if you had pressure issues in the fuel system you'd have a fault code to go with it🤔..

Does the diag allow you to see fuel pressure while cracking?

fbh wouldnt turn on with the remote today (battery is fine) car also decided it didnt need glow plugs either and started up straight away!! dash said 2c its obviusly decied its summer and i should stop being a mard.. dont i know its april!?

Take a look around the vacuum pump at the top of the engine, the seal can leak from there, also the belt tensioner as there is a seal behind that and around the rocker cover as well👍

14 years with next to no suspension problem with EAS on mine.

Today i stripped the front end near side ,in preparation for new ball joints ,after 25 years not one bolt had a decent head on it but got it in the end just needed a bigger hammer :rolleyes:....

Give it time.

Leak..... a little bit. Here and there.

Not mine dude👍

It would make the idiots walking along on there phone jump a bit :vb-biggrin:
