I have seen many parts on magnetic geabox drain bungs, normally a fur tree of swarf, but on the odd occasion a bearing or bits of brass/bronze, all trucks still running to my knowledge. LT77 always seem to have a fur tree on the drain bungs...

I just use what is on the bench for drilling/tapping lube, oil/used oil/grease. If it not a load bearing part you are tapping then you can drill the hole slightly larger than you normally would to make it easier to tap, ie if it is an M8 bolt use...

Or grease will do. All youre trying to do is keep the temp down!

Quick update on this to finish off. Overpriced Steve Parker pipe now fitted and routed slightly differently, full length old radiator hose protection cover installed. And plastic spiral wrap hose protector ordered. You can see where it rubbed...

As I said most boats are vac or pump out oil chanegs only, lots are well over 40 years old. Some times people think an engine still has a dipstick tube, but in fact it is a vac tube and pretty much goes to the bottom of the sump, so there is no...

Hello from Germany! Last summer, just before the birth of our fourth child, we swapped a BMW X3 for a long-awaited Disco 4 with 7 seats in nara bronze color. The kids love driving it around the countryside, through the woods and fields around...

That looks like an obd test socket, you can move it, but make sure it is easy to get to as you will need it at some point.

Not only that, but the TDV6 3.0l has the sump drain bung higher up than the drain tube, so if you don't vac. it out, then you'll potentially overfill it.

Some cars do not even have a sump bung. I would say just about every car under 20 years old was designed to have its oil vacced out.

If you vac it out into a measured receiver, it is much easier to refill with the correct amount of oil. Works especially well with auto transmissnions. I prefer to drain via the sump plug as it is much faster on most LRs, but vaccing is faster on...

Is the downpipe still bolted to the engine block?

Get your current shoes relined.

I think axles are 1/8 bsp thread.

Ebay search the words I used above, 6mm nylon pipe, 6mm pushfit. Pushfits join existing pipe to new pipe. You do not actually need the special cover so long as you fit and remove the wading plug when not needed...

Just a quick update. I replaced all fuel lines and put a bulb primer and clear bowl filter in the supply line before the lift pump and all is tickety boo😁😁

Welcome to LZ You will most likely have a split i/c hose or split intake manifold, google is your friend.

No need for the fancy breather kits, just buy some 6mm od nylon tubing and a handful of 6mm push fit connectors.

The big killer for a DPF is repetitive forced regens & ash. Ash is cumulative and is mostly influenced by the specification of engine oil used. For example, a 4.4TDV8 should have C1 specification oil but can be run on C2 or C3 with an increase in...

Lots pf trucks have a button on the dash so the driver can stop the regen in progress, problem is on the smaller trucks the regen process loses the driver some bhp, so they all keep pushing that damned button until the dpf is chocka block, then...

Thanks, I do have an inlet/exhaust manifold gasket, so will try replacing that, and see if that is the issue.

Exhaust manifold gasket changed, some loose studs, but upon reassembly not fix. Glad I did it though as cleaned the intake manifold, and torqued everything up properly. Whilst at it cleaned up the starter motor connections. So, then removed...

Sounds like you need a new thermostat, do not take the temperature gauge reading as gospel.
