Just been thinking, I'm prob an idiot. The entire time it was running I haven't put the rad plug back it, this would explain the soft pipes. Would this affect heat as system can't pressurise properly. I'll put it back in when home and try again with listed advise

Just ordered gauge from link. Is it a straight forward fit and does it fit in dash replacing original gauge

It used to sit bang on half way before but haven't had it for long and only done 500 miles since doing work. Also never had it stationary but can't run it as no mot. It is a different thermostat now though I fitted a bearmach one

I am not sure as I didn't fit it. It's a converted disco engine in a td car. Temp must have been converted also as lead to believe they show red hot if not done when converted

Plan to check through all the wiring tomorrow but from first glance a live from in the cab with a 30amp in line fuse goes to a small relay box and then to the fan and to the temp sensor in between the pipe from stat to rad

Ok so started the Landy today for first time since replacement head, water pump and timing belt after it overheated and cracked the last head (200tdi) Runs really smooth and after 35 mins of running stationary it reached 3/4 on temp gauge , just past the white and onto the edge of the black. Is...

Without a doubt the thing I use most (other than sockets, hammer and spanners) is a bench grinder with a wire wheel on. I clean everything on it as I can't be bothered to replace bolts if I can clean them. Copper grease too If your posh get a tablet in your garage, instant access to forums and...

I heard red ones don't go up hills

I agree, they are worth it probably, unfortunately I am skint so can't pay that

It's white Continues.... Trying to sort my downpipe from SP conversion, got told it was a 300tdi downpipe just cut a bit. So ordered one and it's nothing like!! Bore is massive on 300tdi and it's about 2' longer

Not the greatest of offers but I can pay £50 If it helps move them on and they will be for me

just a rant in general to make me feel better. Replacing the valve stem seals on my head and I managed to damage one getting them on as they were so tight. (Green rubber ones) Went to paddocks and got 3 more just to make sure I was covered and this time was given brown rubber ones. Anyway all 3...

Think that's rated at 68psi. I'll see if I can up the pressure. May be able to get a better gun in a month or so but £££ is tight. I'll do the paint thing, thanks

I think the air gun is ok maybe? It's a draper expert one with 339NM torque But my compressor is just one of the little 50litre 1.5hp ones It managed the bolt in my 300tdi disco a couple of years back. It will hopefully tighten it up fine.

Great, I'll do the starter motor one in 5 years :)

Done it!!! In 4th, wheels chocked, handbrake on, impact socket on a 2 foot 1/2" crack bar with a 3 1/2 foot piece of box section over the bar. Chisel on a rag down to back of the pulley, twitchy bum moment and crack !!!!

More issues, As above I can't move it with my air gun (it's not to most powerful) I don't have a locking tool or have the time to order one. Also the head is fully off which I guess rules out the starter trick. Any suggestions

Ordered a bearmach one :) Thanks Couldn't find a waxstat one

Are the 200tdi thermostats from paddocks ok at only £3. I have read about waxstats but craddocks no longer get them http://www.paddockspares.com/err2803-thermostat-200tdi-88degree.html?gclid=CIK2odulxM4CFeUy0wod7F0PMg

Cats are very absorbant, also there free and plenty around. Just use and throw away
