Wise words thanks.

Just remembered I do have a fuel leak on the far right pipe at the fuel pump - someones done a DIY on the pipe in the past and now it leaks - would this cause the loss of power?

Just when I decide to sell - someone up theirs having a laugh! Its like limp mode if I keep the hammer down it will eventually clear and accelerate like the turbo kicking in - if I change down gear it stays limp until revs pick up. If I pull over and restart the engine it does clear it 9 times...

1999 TD5 110 Defender 10p 111,800miles Hardtop Workhorse not a show pony MOT due in Feb but I'm going to pre MOT next month to see what's what. I'm in Cornwall if anyone would like to take a look. Open to sensible offers from genuine LR folk.

Cheers yes bled using crappy screw on top hose but will check levels again later and bleed again. At least the thermostat seems to have stopped bleeding!!

Not wishing to temp fate but I think I've done it! Thanks for all the advice & Forest keep those biscuits dry! One thing I have noticed is the temp gauge likes to rise & fall a bit quickly. Chugging along flat and it's nearly tdc then power off going down hill it'll drop a quarter then up again...

Thanks all. Coolant brand new so I'll get that tea strainer out of the kitchen draw!

So I tried fitting a jubilee but still leaking. Thermostat now ordered. I lost a lot of coolant over 5l while replacing the clip. Any pointers on minimising coolant loss when I replace the thermostat??

Good point I'll try that, thanks.

That's great thanks mate & yes checked the Haynes & will follow that & save myself £350 plus 4 choccy digestives!

Better than the non wire extended ones Lynall?

99 Td5 defender 110 There has been a slight leak from top of the thermostat for a while - topping up every couple of weeks depending on use. I had a look and jiggled some pipes and thought you know what I'm going to get my local garage to do this one! Local garage diagnosed new thermostat and...

Thanks for all the tips. I'll grease them up after all the oils leaked out!

Thanks for taking time to take that photo.

Thanks Lynall I'll sleep alright tonight!

Thanks. I don't have the top middle & bottom plugs just square section plug 15/16mm just over halfway up housing. EP90 GL4 gear oil

.... actually I think I'm about to answer my own question in that I shouldn't have put oil in the housing & it should have been grease? ...& There isn't a top filling plug just the one square bolt plug for grease right?

Hi guys I've just topped up the oil in the front swivel pin housings...not sure this has ever been done as each one took over half a litre. Slight issue is I topped up through the bottom level plug & not the top filling plug! Will this be an issue or can I sleep well tonight! Thanks Ben 99'...

Update! Replacing temp gauge sensor cured the hunting & a working temp gauge!

Thanks Brown. Checked yellow fuse but all ok, a little oil around ECU but nothing like there was before I replaced the injector harness. Although I do wonder if the damage was done & the oil haf seeped into the ECU.
