Something like that. I found the smell lasted weeks.

There is a potentiometer in the pump top. I'm trying to remember what it looked like but I recall you can clean it. I think it might have some sort of ribbon cable that solders on one side in order to get it out and clean underneath it but I really wouldn't bother unless it is last resort. Blast...

I wouldn't touch that pump too much. Tap it to idle at 750 rpm and leave it. If there is no throttle response then someone may have had the top off and not engaged the pin into the collar.

You can unplug the lift sensor and it will run on default values using the crank sensor.

Getting them out isn't an issue. Getting them to sit right when you put them back can be. Easy with the dash out but not always so easy to get them locked in place otherwise. I cannot remember what product I used off Amazon but you started the car with the recycle on max fan, pulled the cap and...

Think I just spotted a business opportunity.

Takes a while for the aircon to get down to temperature. Hotter it is the longer it takes.

I doubt that reading is real. Certainly not likely with the cap off so atmospheric pressure.

The question is how do you tell? They taste different, obviously.

Normally they use the windy gun on max-torque and just hammer it up.

Is it called Christine?

Yes, I don't think going above 95C is sensible.

Oil filter wrench, the band or strap type, can help remove and refit.

My sensor is bolted to the head so probably a few degrees cooler than the head itself and maybe a few degrees below the coolant as well. Usually it runs between 85 and 95C on my sensor. Thermostat opens at 82, I think. The air con fans come in too late on the later models for my liking. Already...

Indeed. How's the hair-shirt? Still itching?

It rarely breaks 95C. Prolonged hills, especially when towing.

I don't think so. That M51 head is its weak point. That's why later models pull in the aircon fans as well. That's on top of the Land Rover rad which is a thicker core than the aftermarket ones. Most of the time it is fine but work it hard all the time and that head cracks, especially if you put...

Oddly enough I might modify the aircon fans to kick in at 95.

Drove with the windows down today and thought I hear an odd noise that seemed to follow engine speed. Only audible around 1700 rpm so thinking idler bearing or timing chain tensioner or similar.

OK. We'll try to get it all back together.
