My old Defender has a much larger angle when off-roading. Most of the reports state the double cardan joint is to smooth the transfer, not to aid the articulation. But I am no expert...

IS there a company that has made an after-market front prop that is without the double cardan unit, as it is a right pain in the bum to replace the middle ball-joint thing (technical terms here chaps...)

I will pop round in the morning. Not too sure how I can get the dead Disco to him, but even a chat and some advise will help. I do have the (possibly) knackered BCU out and ready to be replaced, so he may be able to do something with it, even if it's use it as a paperweight...

So, the saga continues... I have now removed both the internal fuse box and the BCU, stripped both and neither are showing any sign of water corrision damage on any of the PCB surfaces. This leads to a few further questions; 1. If it isn't the BCU or internal fuse box causing the fault and...

Once again, all the people on here have been a HUGE help!!!! Thank you all, each and every one! Hopefully Paul in Gt Tey will have some type of diagnostic system to kick start Rocksie back to life...

I have this chaps mobile. One call in the morning should help somewhat!!!!!

So. I am now going to try and get a replacement internal fusebox. Hopefully that will cure the ills of Rocksie. Once last question; if changing the fusebox doesn't solve the problem and the BCU is at fault (when I examined it there was zero water marks on the case, so I assume that there is...

A fair point...

To The BatCave! Once I've found the part on fleabay, that is!!!

And the battery is about 18 months old, so it *should* be okay?? I thought these things lasted yonks in today's world...

Oh, thats a new one on me! I will take the internal fuse box out and take a look. I was informed that the BCU can take water damage (it seems fine from my uncultured eye) but I didn't know about the fusebox under the steering wheel. Out with the spanners again!!

Yes and Yes; 2 of them. And both of them leak...

Alas no to the diagnostic tool. Cant really afford the price of buying one (Nanocom, which is the unit of choice I believe is £300 plus)...

Just after some advice really! I have searched on here but not found an exact match to my fault, so I thought it best to start a new thread. Let me go back to the beginning... Not long after I got her, the front demist started playing up, only one side would work, then the other, then...

Did you ever get a reply from anyone? I am in need of a Nanocom as my BCU has become belligerent and I need to upload the map to then download to a new unit. The local Land Rover dealer in Colchester have stated it will be about £850 for a new unit and the reprogram of it, which is way more...

I still have the old engine in my garage, so I will change them over. Will it be a straight swap over or does it require an adapter to make it fit properly? And where can I find the sender units on each engine???

I have removed the viscous fan and fitted an electric one. And the gauge gets to 'red hot' within 1 mile, even in this weather...

So as it is the gauge from a 2.5td and the sender from the 300tdi, it could be that it isn't overheating as such, but would this stop the water circulating? My journey to work is 18 miles each way, and at no point do I get warm air out of the heater vents, and half way to work today when the...

The engine is hot, but not mental so (warm would be a better word...). I am a chef so I am used to heat (asbestos fingers...) but I can easily keep my hand on the top of the engine, and the rad is not too hot either.

Evening All This is probably the easiest problem to solve, or the complete bugger... I put a 300tdi engine in my old 2.5td chassis. It is all done and someone even MOT'd it!!! Since then though, the temperature gauge is constantly on the red (and tonight coming home from work it was even...
