And fluctuates through the Rev range. Sounds like I have a lambretta stuck under the car.

Didn't do it before cats changed. Did grease the uj at the same time. No play in them then. Car performs as normal. I have original cats so will be swapping them back to eliminate. The noise is definitely linked to revs.

https://vimeo.com/133266524 Any ideas on what this noise is? Only happens when driving along with revs above 2000. Doesn't happen if rev engine in neutral. Could it be something in the cats? As just fitted some used sports cats. I thought it was the exhaust banging on the cross member but...

Nice one thanks for that. That's little job for this weekend. I'll report back how many fingers I have once complete.

Lol very true. I've always jack on sumps before when supporting engine etc. my main concern was if it broken the seal on the sump. But if it does then no biggy.

Yes I have piece of wood to spread load and rubber pad for well padding :). I only want to lift enough to get the mounts out. So length of the thread bars so only 3/4cm at the most.

Good idea. Sounds like crane is best option. I'm based in Lincoln.

Yeah I tend to agree. Can't really see any reason why not to. I'm only one side at a time so its not the full load. Will give it a try.. Cheers

well I thought of that as i don't have one been reading up on the matter and it seems people just use a jack and lift engine enough to get the mounts out. One person said he used the oil reservoir. Just wondered if anyone done it on here.

Hi All, Going to replace my engine mounts on 98 4.6 v8 and just wondering where is the best place to put jack to allow me to jack the engine up? Is sump ok to use? or is there a better place? Cheers Al

Well final think I've got it sorted now. New radiator, water pump and coolant temp sensor fitted. Been towing today and temp didn't budge. Had nanocom hooked up all day while driving around and stayed around 90. Before it was sitting at around 96. So something has changed. Left idling and...

Thanks for suggestions, I did wonder about testing it again, I guess you just assume it must be working as its new. Rad is clean, air con condensor is new. I will check the v fan in the morning and see if its working properly. Cheers

Ok starting to annoy me now. Haha famous last words of a p38 owner I bet. Gems 4.6 on petrol 84k Overheats when towing sometimes. Mainly when under heavy load. As soon as slow down or crawl along temp drops. That's first scenario. Second is I keep getting book symbol on hvac. Solar...

Oh yes I do.. I've read the horror stories. the smile on my face when it just popped loose. New one ordered. Cheers for advice. LZ forums to the rescue again.

Well I did have it error free for 2 days.. that's an accomplishment. Now I've just removed the v/Fan.. seemed to easy, adjustable spanner on and quick tap to the left with my hand and its undo... should it be that loose? Does the tightness of the nut affect the operation?

ok just tried again, engine running, more force this time and I am able to stop to totally stop the fan.

I tried to do that, but just shredded the paper. I wasn't overly forceful... Whereabouts do you try to stop it? In the blades or on the top?

Hi All Gems 1998 4.6 83K overheating at idle. So far I have replaced all coolant hoses and thermostat, coolant has been refreshed twice. I don't have any issues when moving, only when sat at idle with bonnet shut, temp slowly creeps up to Hot. I'm thinking Viscous Fan Clutch is...

Certainly did thanks. Just goes to prove even the simplest things can make all the difference. Cheers everyone.

Well wammers it isn't for sale. Haha. I couldn't quite believe it. Garage only adjusted the toe on the front. Was only slightly out. I think another factor is its been a while since I have driven one of these. Been in very stiff modern cars lately. Able to throw around corners without...
