    Strange cooling issue

    15P. I know the 15P injectors can be used in the 10P alright but not the other way around. Didn't know this for sure when was getting them done the last time of course. Not sure how I ended up with spare black injectors unless they got mixed up when I had left some spare bits at my friends...

    Strange cooling issue

    Far from bombproof lol. The engine **** itself last time from missing and blow by and had very bad detonation on cylinder 5. Got two sets and and a set of black ones. not sure how I ended up with spare black ones but that's another strop I suppose lol) Was told the green ones are fine albeit...

    Strange cooling issue

    So after another look at the block as was rushing before the weekend to get the head off to get it tested before the machine shop closed... And probably missing it with the onset of a cold lol. Had a proper look at both sides of the gasket and it's blowing the underside from cylinder 1 out to...

    Strange cooling issue

    Head checked and result was all fine anyway so kinda stumped now other than block in trouble! :( Might get a plate of aluminium maybe and use as a torque plate with a rubber between it and the block and pressure test it on its own to check it before go to the hassle of pulling it all out and...

    Best choice for the spare small dash gauge - oil temp/voltage/tacho?

    A TD5 but I've speedo, tacho, fuel and an EMSII in the dash. Then not all fitted yet but Boost, Voltmeter, Ammeter, clock and ambient temps on a Mud pod over the center of the dash. Oil pressure, oil temp and transmission temp on a small mud that I might put down on the lower part of the dash...

    Defender rear recovery point terrafirma TF750

    I've just got a Recovery point that just slots into the receiver hitch instead of a hitch when I'm offroading or pulling something. Just one of these witth a D-shackle :) http://www.terrafirma4x4.com/product_detail.php?prod=TF878&grp=186

    Another Age Old Question..

    I've 35" BFG Muds on 15s and drives fine. Slight vibration at about 25-30mph alright but think it's my front prop more than any imbalance in the wheels as it changes when clutch is pressed and Defender is left coast.

    Defender TD5 Tuning.

    I've an Alive map and all the same mods to the op plus a VNT, Alisport manifold and few other small bits and pieces and it goes very well indeed and no smoke at all.

    110 V8 Supercharger?

    Supercharging the Rover V8 is nothing new. Lots have fitted Eaton chargers and used management such as Meagsquirt

    Strange cooling issue

    Wouldn't think so as it's building pressure and getting too airlocked to be an external leak like that. Just got ****ed off with it today anyway and pulled the head off it altogether. Headgasket doesn't show any signs of failing after a quick look at it. Dropping the head in to be tested in the...

    Strange cooling issue

    Yep. with the cap off, can see the small return pipe filling back into the tank. Checked this morning and no real coolant loss of where I had it yesterday when stopped it as it started to get hot again. Topped it up and bled it again and tried a genuine expansion bottle cap as one on it was a...

    Strange cooling issue

    Yea, will replace all the headbolts again. They were all done anyway as well as new rod and Mains bolts when I rebuilt it not long ago. I'd imagine it is as it's putting a steady stream out the bleed screw when removed when running in a fountain 6 inches or so high. When engine off, will just...

    Genuine oil filters

    I just use Britpart filters and change them every 5000 miles. No issues so far with oil or fuel systems :)

    Strange cooling issue

    So looks like it's a cracked head or gasket anyway. Took it for a short drive into town today after bleeding it completely as rave says. Was fine into town, could still hear hissing from expansion tank and heater matrix area when stood by the wings. Cam home, was parked for 5 minutes and then...

    Strange cooling issue

    Yea, it's only very slight airlock or else I just didn't get the last of the air out of the system upto now. Going to do a pressure and sniff test to be sure though although on diesel, these aren't totally fool proof of thinking there's noting wrong either if the results are clear. Tensioner...

    Strange cooling issue

    Checked this morning to see if coolant level dropped and it was still around the cold mark in the expansion tank. Opened the bleed screw then, and small few bubbles but coolant coming out nonetheless so level not down much. Topped up the tank to get a steady flow again from the bleed screw and...

    Strange cooling issue

    Even though not overheating at all and no white smoke or of any colour for that matter, my Defender seems to be developing a slight airlock. At times, the heater blows cold and then hot again for a moment but think this might have been down to a slipping drive-belt or faulty tensioner as...

    Oil leak and level dropping.

    Rear camshaft seal plug leaking out the back of the head? Unlikely but a apart from rocker gasket and fuel block there isn't much to leak back there

    99 Fender Td5 prep for summer travel!

    Fuel block, fuel pump, filters, crank sensor, wheel bearings, ujs, headlight bulbs, headlight switch, injector loom, few other things probably forgetting :) Pick from that list of what you'll need depending on ore trip preparation and how far your going :)

    TD5 aluminium rad and fan options

    I know especially as stat doesn't open fully until 96, I'm just being paranoid :o The new standard rad is warped a little again however only after a 1000 miles so still would feel better with upgrading them
