A quote from another thread on LZ. "In a TD5, 2,500 cc, 5 cylinders, each cylinder is 500cc swept volume. If the compression ratio was 19 to 1, then the 500cc PLUS THE VOLUME OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER has to be squashed into a ninteteenth of the...

If the injector is direct, i.e. sits right in the cylinderhead above the piston, it should be possible to suck/pump any liquid out via a small bore tube, such as used in fish tank or windscreen washer applications. Once that's done, and you've...

Vehicle is being transported down over the weekend! I will then be looked at by someone with way more talent than I so 🤞🤞. Thank you all for input, it's greatly appreciated 👏

That's exactly how it feels!

Can you not just search for it with the SAE number? https://www.castrol.com/en_us/united-states/home/learn/car-maintenance/transmission-fluid-types.html To me it was always interesting that a Cortina 4 speed transmission ran on manual gearbox...

Have a read of this about someone who did it too. https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/manually-turning-td5-engine-counter-clockwise.365176/ So it appears hydraulic lock is possible.

Yes all chinesium

Are you getting "Wisterical"?

This is exactly what my actual mechanic friend thinks is going on 🙈🙈

Nothing to lose by doing that, certainly. TBH the cylinder heads on these vehicles are so complex what with having all the injection gubbins in them, I'd also be giving the starter motor a large dose of looking at. Those sounds, cos to me there...

oops. I am not sufficiently "up" in these engines to know whether that could have done harm or not, hopefully others will pop on and tell you. But it is an unusual thing to be discussing, never seen it discussed to do with this engine or indeed...

Have thay changed the name for MTF oil having a problem getting it over here ?? Have searched the tinnet but no joy

No rest for the wicked Stan you should be used to it by now

Hope that works 🤞

It is always best to turn any engine over in the direction of normal rotation. does this mean you have done it the other way?

Plus 1 what @Stanleysteamer has said about the min vdc battery requirement with the engine off , always best to use a multimeter directly onto the battery itself as then ur have a decent reading Another thing to look out for are deteriorating...

Indeed mate ur spot on , with that in mind talking about external sources I’ve always been curious if there’s a scenario of the agm on one vehicle, ie the D4 and. Lead acid battery on another vehicle if that would ever upset the BMS monitoring...

I expect @gstuart will agree with me when I say that 12.2 volts isn't enough. Normally needs to be 12.6. But he has already talked about batt voltages and conditions. 14.5 shows the alternator is OK, I would think. The green indicator is a...

The battery this morning before starting was reading 12.2v. When started was showing 14.5v. The battery has an indicator on it and that is green which means okay. Having said that when I retested the codes with ignition on within 10 minutes a...

It’s a Snap-on Triton D8 Model EEMS343

Long may it continue mate that it behaves 🙏 also really impressed with the D3 gearbox in how smooth it changes and assume the ZF 9 x speed is even nicer Funny enough heard that in comparison between coils and air suspension in how smooth the...

Yes thanks for heads up on flushing guys, just dropped it twice was much cleaner second time, pretty sure if overheat re-emerges a cloned tcm is next port of call, Gear changes are almost undetectable only by watching rev counter, still has a...

Bless u my friend and glad being able to help here and there is useful to u Credit where credit is due for u finding the water logged modules and working through the canbus system, It certainly threw a spanner in the works that for sure in...

Sorry mate moved my ramblings to my D4 engine removal thread, yes thanks doing ok fingers crossed seems brake switch and haldex unit were causing main issues, also changed a headlight module, rain sensor and rear camera all corroded inside...

Battery and earths first IMO. J

Still chilli here. The hens have arrived and are installed. Apart from going to the butchers, picking up the hens and a few bits and having lunch we have done nowt else. Best get back out and mend the shelter for the hens to use when it is hot...

Mornin Bathroom man was back yesterday ( unannounced ) for a third attempt to sort the tiling out ( very little cement under cill tiles and trim coming off) He was also going to do my hall flooring as they ruined it installing the bathroom...
