He'll be off somewhere in the French countryside attending a protest rally.

I cannot say if a D2's heating system is the same as a D1, but when the heater matrix developed a leak in my old D1 I disconnected the hoses and just made a loop with hose from the rear of the head to the front of the head, that seemed to work fine and kept the coolant within the system. But it may be cold where you are and heating essential.

No he'll be sweet talking mamma Merkel and hoping she can pop the teeth out for the BJ
The yeller vests have been protesting every weekend for the last 4 months, quite impressive really considering here in the UK we can hardly muster a handful of folks for a protest about the death of democracy in this country yet they can whip up a few thousand at the drop of a pin when they put 10c on a litre of diesel.

Yes, they are and always have been prepared to stand up and voice their disapproval of whatever happens to be pizzin' them off at the time, more strength to them. We should be more that way, instead our pollies continually screw us over, just because we let them.No he'll be sweet talking mamma Merkel and hoping she can pop the teeth out for the BJ

That's a picture I'd rather not think about.
But she could be partial to the Bratwurst.

Judging by the photo's of himself with topless young fellahs I think she might not be the only one

Anyhow, it's safe to say Macron won't be able to help with the OP's heater leak and coolant loss.

If he plays his cards right he could get his help with some other type of fluid loss
How was home when you got back? No flood damage?

House was fine, few leaks on verandah roof, but it only leaks when it rains, so ok.If he plays his cards right he could get his help with some other type of fluid loss

Only a bit of road pavement damage near a couple of the flooded river crossings on the road back.
Our "mens shed" got a bit of water across the floor because of a blocked storm pipe, but no equipment damage.

Thank god for that!!!
I really do envy you over there, we've found a youtube channel from 4WD Action, the fellas have a magazine and DVDs an everything there in OZ some spectacular off roading, only ever seen one Landy mind, they run 60 & 80 series Toyotas, Nissan Patrols and ISUZU Dmax with a few guest drivers an vehicles thrown in. If you get time then I recommend, obviously only if you have not already found them

Have you watched their "old telegraph track" vids, that's just up the road a few hundred klm from where I live, done that trip 10 times, going again in June this year.

Actually I watched an episode today that featured the old telegraph track, I'm watching one right now and they are bogged to the bollix in Tazmania, that Barney from Legendex is an animal in that Hi-Lux lol
I must admit that I've fallen in love with the noise and power of the V8 diesel Toyota engine, always tickles me when old Rocket Rod is with them and he can hardly keep the front wheels on the ground in that 79 series of his LOL

I'm pretty impressed with the D max, Graeme gives it a workout and it seems it can go anywhere the big boys go.
If you like the sounds of the Tojo V8 diesel you should live in my street, we live on the top of a hill in the street, and the V8 boys roar up and down all day long, wish they'd pi5s off with their de-catted noisy exhausts sometimes. As I've said before this is Toyota country, us LR drivers are considered an oddity, and perhaps worse, but we're happy to be different, and our Tdi's only make rattly noises.
TMorning!Please let me know if I can still post here or if I should start a new thread? Sorry as I’m new to the forum. And new to the TD5 and Land Rover engines in general, My 3Dr RR classic has been repowered with a Toyota 3b...
Went down to the D2 this morning, have it a clean up, no further pooling of coolant overnight, so either the leak is higher than the current system level, or I lost it all... the lack of overheating signs makes me think this wasn’t the case but I’m not a LR expert.
I think I have located the source of the leak, the whole coolant system needs a good flush and new hoses as some of the lower rubber hoses are ‘crunchy’, the photo attached shows 2 holes which have been weeping. This is lower left side of block above the sump ( near side ).
Sorry about the quality of the photo. Any advice about what I’m looking at, is it the main coolant pump, or....

Should you make it across to Mortain 50140, I can pressure test the coolant system. I'm with JM on it being a water pump, but it would be good to confirm before the French garagistes have your pants down. Did you pack the KY with the warning triangle, bulbs, yellow vest etc...as per the update for travelling in post brexit Europe?

any shops nearby where you can buy sealant tape for the hoses to give them some strength
or some gasket sealer etc
